    gadget73, so are you implying to use the pre-existing hoses that are on the car to the air shocks?

    Will the load leveling airshocks give as nice comfortable ride as the tockiyo OEm shocks (air ride)?

    Would the adapter be included in the kit? or is the adapter found by itself?

      you use the pre-existing feed from the air compressor to one of the shocks. I think they feed in on the driver's side. Connect the adapter to that, and the output of the adapter goes to each new shock. The existing line from side to side does not get used. The adapter you buy in addition to the shocks. Replacements will probably ride comparable to the originals when they were newer, but consider you're comparing new shocks to 25 year old dead ones. They aren't going to feel the same but its not like you have a lot of choices in the matter.

        They are on the drivers side. I am having a devil of a time finding the adapter!!! so the original adapter on the drivers side wouldn't be re-used? Or iis it that it work screw on properly to the shock housing>?

        So you use the line provided with the air shocks to go between the shocks then, right?

        I just don't want it bouncing like a school bus. (I had a pair of gabriel air shocks on my GM, it rode like a truck!!!)

            I don't remember the part number. It looks like a brass T. Also consider I bought that like 5 years ago, the price has probably changed since then.

            the lines on the new air shocks are differently sized than the originals, thats why you need the adapter.
