This is the easiest and best way to do it, man!

Well, as far as I can tell, the MA700s are the best match for 2nd gens, same as 3rd gens (discovered by RavenCr), so I ordered em up today from partsamerica.com. Only thing is, the guy told me they have to special order these, meaning they will take up to a week extra before they actually ship them to me. Plus they made me pay Minnesota sales tax.. wtf maybe the border will refund it.. or give me the forms for such a thing.

OME's were.. 12.9" Collapsed, 21.5" Extended

Stock Monroe Replacement Shocks
Model# - Closed - Open - Travel - Top - Bottom
x32248 - 12.875 - 20.875 - 8.000 - S4 - L3

x37033 - 13.250 - 20.875 - 7.625 - S4 - L3

MonRoe Max-Airs
MA700 - 12.750 - 21.375 - 8.625 - S4 - L1 (Drills out to L3)

Glad you got everything worked out. They worked great on my 4runner. In fact, I loaded up my ATV and my wife's dirtbike on my new trailer with the air shocks just at 20 psi, and there isno way in hell with stock shocks I could tow it safely. But, with the shocks pumped up, it handles perfectly stable. I love them.

Well, shocks are on... work brilliantly, can't thank you guys enough for bein the guinea pigs. Only downside now is I was so used to the sagging rear that I now feel like it's too high and I'm falling forward in my seat. When it's perfectly level. Guess I'm just crazy.

Awesome man! I'm glad you like them as much as I do. I don't know how I drove it without them, because when I air them down to 20 psi, it's so soft! Congrats!

Hey guys, I finally found a valve that will fit the air lines for these shocks. The problem is that the push-in brass fitting that goes into the valve comes in a pack of 10. I obviously only need two, which leaves 4 other sets available if anyone wants them.

Here's the other problem about getting this valve and fittings. They only sell to businesses. I can get 5 valves and 1 package of the fittings if there's 4 other people on here that would like them. You're looking at $20 shipped, which will include everything you need to install it: the valve and two fittings that the air line pushes into and is then screwed into the valve.

Are there 4 people out there that would like to lock out the shocks on the road, and also be able to cross-link for the trail? If so, please let me know as soon as possible, because I'd like to get them before the weekend.

P.S. Just sold one set, so there's 3 sets left!

Got the valve installed and everything works great! I think it makes a decent difference in the sway of the vehicle.
