    rear air shock replacements -- '91 GM

    Searched GMN and Summit, but didn't find what I was looking for. Are there any air shocks out there that are a fairly direct replacement of the stock air shocks? The rears on the '91 GM are pretty well shot. If you know of any brands or actual part numbers, I'm all ears. Thanks.

    I know I could just do away with the air suspension like I did in S.U., but the '91 isn't my car (yet), so I'm trying to keep it stock . . . and affordable. Why do I get the feeling that it would just be cheaper to toss Moog 817's in back with regular shocks than to replace air shocks?

    I'll have to look at my reciepts. The vic had air shocks on it when I got it but I put em on ange's car cause she needed shocks. They worked quite nice.

        Same exact thing here - Gabriel Hi-Jackers from AutoZone, had them in stock too. If you shell out extra $10 you can get the adapter kit that allows you to hook the new shocks to the old air line coming from the compressor.

            Well you're the one who found about that adapter's existence to begin with, remember I did my system before you so I had to get creative and used T-ee block & compression fittings for hydraulic lines

              I forget where I even found that. I was puttering around on some website and located it. Probably Advance's website since I got it from them. If anyone actually wants the part number, I'll go find it again. I've posted it here or LoL before. I forget what the p/n is tho.
