How do air shocks work or operate

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

On my 69 4 door Nova I am using 3" drop springs from Hotchkiss, and I am likely to add lowering spindles to get another inch. As the true drop has not been far enough for my taste. Currently it's only a 1/2" lower then when the original springs were there.

So to increase my cars weight carrying capacity in terms of weight before the tail drags everything. I want to add air shocks to the suspension off a braced section of the subframe.

So I will have 4 shocks in the rear. The normal shocks will be KYB gas adjust.

If I add air shocks will they increase my cars shock dampening in the rear. Or do they only do that when air is added.

You will pretty much double your dampening of the shocks. Air shocks are regular shocks with an air bladder. I would look at doing something like an airlift setup over air shocks.

Damn they were a easy fit.

Well I will look to some sort of sleeve bag or small bellows bag
