    Gas charged are nice, but remember that these are one step up from farm wagons with straight axles and semi-elliptic springs. You can expect improvement, but it will not feel like a modern car.
    Air shocks are not a good idea. The upper shock mount was not designed to support the vehicle weight, which is what happens when an air shock is inflated.
