need to stiffen up the rear

[GuySmiley]

Hey there, I use my ST for towing a small travel trailer etc and the rear sags like crazy as soon as I hook up or anything is put in the box. I searched the site and found that guys were using Napa AAL's and aparently these are not offered in Canada (only a US item).

What other options do I have other that air bags which are a little pricey for me right now. What brands and part #'s are you guys using?

Thanks

I got my AAL's from www.Summitracing.com You can probably get air shocks instead of air bags cheaper.

I never thought about just putting air shocks on. Has anyone tried them on their ST's. I think the ride quality would be poor but I guess it would also be that way with AAL's.

My brother in law had air shocks on a Chevy pickup and you didn't know any difference between those or stock gas shocks. I had a single aal and then removed that in favor of a a dual aal on a 94 expo and it rode like hell.....Like a '42 dumptruck unloaded. It was awful!! Anyway to answer your question, I would think that air shocks(if they make 'em for your st) or aal. I would go with the air shocks. The ride on the st isn't all that desired a ride anyway, You don't need it any worse.

I installed a set of coil overs from napa they seem to work great.....I had the same problem, they fixed it
