So tell us how to set up air shocks right. There is only one way to set them up.
1. Install the shock
2. Connect the airlines
3. Fill the shocks with air
Did I miss something in the 10 years I spent working in the auto parts industry.

This is what he's talking about.
It the job of both the spring and the shock. Its like a coilover only you can adjust the ride height. They are badass.

He will have to run springs front and rear and the air shocks will replace the reg shocks. Yes they will work great! Alot of my buddys buggys run air shocks and work great! 18s are big I would go more for 14 in the rear and 12s in the front.
Also you can run FOX but i would go for FOA.

Well, when someone actually explains what is going to be used it makes it easier to get opinions. The general picture that comes to mind when someone says airshocks is the run of the mill air shocks that can be purchased at any auto parts store.
