I ran a set in an old '73 Pontiac Catalina for YEARS and they never missed a beat and that boat weighed AT LEAST 4400 lbs. Plus I towed often. Even my '91 Roadmaster wagon has factory rear air shocks with an on board compressor and load leveling.

Anyway, I am running the factory shackles, do they make shorter versions to raise the ride height?

Thanks.
