Shocks or bags ???
 

My 72 Sub is lowered with springs and spindles. Runs, rides, and handles good! When I hook up the car hauler (trailer) it sits right down - bottoms out. Will air shocks help or do I need to put in air bags? I really don't have the bucks for bags. I need a poor man's fix.

Air shocks likely won't help. Bags are the best way to go.

from what I understand, which is limited, you can get bags for about the same cost as lowered springs. The stuff that starts costing is the electronics and pumps/tanks and stuff. I think 200.00 and you could be riding on air with manual fill.

My '85 Burb has a flip kit in the rear and I have about 1.5" between the axle and frame, no notch....yet, and I have air shocks installed for ease. They do really help with big loads or a trailer. I've had some loads of people/junk in it and they really help with towing the boat. It is a poor mans fix for sure, I plan on installing air ride in the rear in the spring/summer just because I think it would be better. The air shocks are a temp. fix. for me but if you need them JUST for towing a trailer, do it. You can get a decent set for around $80 or so, far cheaper than an air ride set up, even with manual fill valves, etc.

You need helper bags,air shocks just aren't going to cut it especially with the added weight of a trailer.

So question If I have a 67 C10 with TJ jeep springs and wanna put helper bags on it would I order them for a Jeep?

Re: Shocks or bags ???
 

I would get them for the C10 because the frame mount is what matters.

Install bags in place of the lowered coils out back. Better ride & adjustable for those occassional loads.
