QUESTION:
I have a 1997 ford f150, 4wd. I have been trying to purchase airshocks for it locally and nobody seems to list them. Are they available? I have a new trailor that is a little tongue heavy and I thought this would be the simplest an most economic way to go. If they are not available why and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
ANSWER:
Airshocks are pretty old technology.Monroe does not make them for any newer trucks (past around 2000). They do make a set of Loadlevelers 58629 - http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/product.cfm/id/18171/name/58629-Monroe-Loadleveler-Pair-Ford-F150 Those actually support around 1,100 lbs, much more than any air shocks would.
