Hello group: I have a 1991 Mitubishi Montero LS 4x4. Recently I took the family camping which involved loading the cargo compartments, filling a good size roof carrier, and putting 3 bicycles on a carrier on the spare tire. When loaded, I found we were bottoming out on the stops on the rear suspension while on rough coastal roads here in Oregon. As I hope to eventually add a tow package to this truck I was hoping someone could offer advise on the addition of air adjustable shocks as opposed to a heavy duty shock. I am hoping to avoid the ultra stiff ride with daily driving, but have the support that is needed while loaded or while towing.

You can add air as the load increases. Have you posted your question over on http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/postl...at=&Board=UBB69 -- Email hint - Everything after the @ is spelled backwards. There are only 10 types of people in the world: those that understand binary, and those that don't. mg View Public Profile Find all posts by mg Add mg to Your Buddy List   #3   09-25-2006, 01:11 AM Raven Junior Member   Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 100 Air adjustable shocks for 91 Montero? Thats right here in Australia you can buy a kit of 2 red type heavy duty air bags that fit inside the existing springs, you then run a heavy duty hollow plastic tubing to a air filling unit that can be increased at any service station or from a home air compressor. The cost varies from car to car but the base kit is about 350.00 Hope i helped Peter Australia "a" <a@h.com> wrote in message news:hg8eh2dvpmrc4uamikf9uk496j3o6u4l1n@4ax.com...
