Any reason you want air shocks vs. Coil and a shock?

How much nitrogen you put in your air shocks sets your ride height. But you can run a 10"or shock up front but may have to relocate your lower shock mount im not sure about the rear.

Your best bet is to take some measurements and look at the extended and collapsed length of the air shocks you want.

I sure wouldnt use an air shock. If it sags add another leaf. Air bag would be much better if your only worried about it when its loaded.
