Default Adjustable height air shocks.

I have been looking at the strut master adjustable height air shocks for my wide glide. Anybody have adjustable height air shocks and how do you like them? How is the ride and handling? Thanks!

I don't know about the specific shocks you are talking about but I as well as many others are running monroe MA785s. I love mine.

Thanks. I will look at them. The ones I am looking at have a on board compresser where you can raise or lower it with a push of a button.

Just looked the kits up. The shocks they are using are the MA785's! I have everything in their Ultimate Air kit but pieced it together myself on amazon and ebay for about $200.

Quick question. Do the shocks mount right up or do I need different bushings and/or spacers? Thanks!

You have to change the bushings but I don't remember what bushings you need.

I got the shocks but it is almost impossible to get these new bushings in. Plus I have a 2 ton press. About to give up. Any tricks? Thanks!

Put the bushings in the freezer and leave the shocks in the hot sun for a while.
