I have a 55 ford crown victoria which is pretty low...i want a set of air shocks to boost it up a little, Im kinda running on the bump stops...I love the way it looks this way its just hard to get say a jack under or get on a lift etc...etc....so here is the problem they dont list them for my car they mount just like a 53 mercury..they have studs top and bottom...and measure around 18 inches with car on the ground with weight on it...any help would be great......
I dont think the overall length makes a big differnce i dont want to go super high with it maybe like an 1 to 1-1/2 thats all and only when driving i will lower it when at a cruise nite or show....
Take one shock off and go to a good parts store, with some knowledgeable employees (everybody should know of at least one in your town), and have them spec it. I just bought a set of Monroes for my '55 Poncho, for the same reason. Also, bought an onboard compressor, from Jegs ($110.00), so I can air the shocks up going down the road if needed. Well worth the bucks, and it cost me less than 2 Bills.
Thats the same idea i have to put an onboard compressor too add air when needed lower when parked......
JCWhitney sells the whole set up for $170. Shocks, compressor, controller. spring a few extra bucks for the monroe shocks.
I will try and look up the ones that you need saturday when I am work and let you know the part number. Could you give me a extended and compressed length.
If you look at ford mainline or custom in that yr it gives you the length you need the part number in monroe is MA739 if that helps....
