    Looking for a set of air shocks for the rear of my rig, anyone have a good source I should look into? Do I need to order them for a different model vehical? I spent some time searching it but had no luck. And just for nostalgic purposes I'd like to get one of those old "hijacker" stickers!

    Thanks magic bus, learned a good amount from those threads as well, what size rear wheels are you running on your pick up?

    Those are ridiculous, 17x 11, had to put a 2 1/2" spacer behind it to keep it off the springs, and a 2" block on the differential to get it up off the tires....looked great rode lousy. Those low profile tires are not very forgiving.
