Here's a little video clip of the shocks from the banana Ranchero. I guess the question was: Would I want to drive this car, with these shocks, to New York?
:p

Shocks won't make it ride lower, but it would let it "get lower" under the right circumstances. They were both the same. And the rear air shocks had a broken line and they were collapsed too. In essence, the car had no shocks. :WHATTHE: Should be significantly better shortly.

That was Gene demonstrating it - and he may be bionic. [BOW]

Wow, I don't think I've seen one fail that much! I guess when we pulled over on the way home I never thought to see how the suspension bounced (or didn't). Not that here's really a quick fix but...
