    Hi guys,

    Can anyone recommend a good load adjusting air shock that will fit an a-108/a-100? Neither Monroe, Summit or Amazon show any that are compatible.

    Currently, I have gas shocks with an 11.875” Compressed Length, 6.375" Travel Length and 18.250” Extended Length. They were on the van when I bought it

    Also, I bought a Dorman 31001 Shock Mounting Kit/assembly for the bottom and it won't fit any of the Monroe shocks as the eyelets or Loop Bushing& Sleeve Mount rather are too small. Any suggestions? Should i push out the metal sleeve and rubber bushings out of the shock and then use the one's that come with the assembly? They don't have a metal sleeve, does this matter?

    Would be grateful for any advice. Thanks very much! pirat

    I'm not a suspension guru, but I could not find any that fit off the shelf either.

    I had to have them made/crafted by a local suspension place, so it's at least possible to put something together if you know what you're doing.

    I installed a set of Monroe MA-704 air shocks on my A-108.

    I also installed Monroe 58484 load sensing shocks on the front.
