Do you have duals or single pipes? Also, I don't recommend air shocks. Maybe air bags.

my dad had air shocks on one of his cars in the past, and he loved them.

You know you're a ******* if ...

... you install air shocks on a thirdgen F-Body.

I had air shocks for a while, they had too much rebound when the rear bottom out on the hwy - maybe I had too much air in em

maybe you could try air bags in the springs
