Air shocks: who's got 'em?
#1
Back when I was a kid with my new Mustang, the 'jacked up' look with the 'bigs and littles' was what everyone wanted. I jacked up my car by putting a pair of the infamous "Monroe Hi-Jacker" air shocks on the rear.
The tail was up in the air, and big meaty "Formula One Super Stock" L-50s went on.
Beautiful!

But...the ride was TERRIBLE!

Harsh and stiff, handled like crap. And kept sliding forward off the front of the seat.

I soon figured out that the car should be supported by the springs...not the shocks.

Now, of course...I am back to the 'stock' look.

What the hell were we thinking back then?
