    M1028A3 shocks

    On Rockauto Rancho shows 0-2" and 2-4" front lift. The other brands are one size fits all. With the 1.25 ton leaf springs is it still 0-2" or does it change to 2-4". This is why i am confussed. I think i will give up on Rancho and go with a one size fits all from Rockauto.

    Question about air assist power steering kits for m35... shelf life ???

    from what i have read the air assist is better in the fact that if it goes out you are back to regular steering. if the hydraulic one goes out it is just like any other power steering that goes out. none of my 4 have either , however i am looking for an air assist to put on my M109a3.
