Has anyone tried air shock instead of an air bag kit with an axle flip kit. I don't tow or carry heavy stuff in the bed. It will be more to prevent axle frame hitting issues.

 

Try throwing in a set of short button head bumpstops. That stopped mine from bottoming out on all but the worst bumps. For $15 it's worth a shot....I gained about an inch of extra travel before it can bottom out.

 

I will try that.

 

I put some monroe air shocks on mine, they work great.

 

i had lowered 05 Silverado that I installed air shocks on. They worked fine but I used them in tandem with the stock original shocks. the stock shocks served as ride control and I used the air shocks for hauling towing when needed. most of the time i ran them with a minimum amount of air. this truck had a frame notch so they were used solely for towing/hauling. i had also removed the overload springs.

 

I run the Monroe Air Shocks on my 16 screw, pull a trailer regularly with no issues. Ride quality is great with or without a load.

 

what part # are you using? do you have a flip kit?

 

Yep, I do have a flip kit.

Do not remember the part#, I will see if I can pull one off it later on this evening.

 

I could be wrong but I believe he may be using this kit from the 14' F150's. Comes as a set of 2. For $67 from Amazon, not a bad deal.

i put a set of the calmax 2200 shocks on my current ride. frame bumping eliminated.
