QUESTION:

I have a 1997 ford f150, 4wd. I have been trying to purchase airshocks for it locally and nobody seems to list them. Are they available? I have a new trailor that is a little tongue heavy and I thought this would be the simplest an most economic way to go. If they are not available why and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

ANSWER:

Airshocks are pretty old technology. Monroe does not make them for any newer trucks (past around 2000). They do make a set of Loadlevelers 58629 - Monroe 58629 Rear Load Adjusting Shock Absorber and Coil Spring Assembly. Those actually support around 1,100 lbs, much more than any air shocks would.
