Re: shocks

as long as none of the mounts were modified, swapping everything out should be quick and painless. The springs and struts/shocks are separate on both the front and the rear and have their own mounting points. I take it you only have bags in there now and no springs?

Re: shocks

if its just bags, you'll need to grab new struts, shocks, and springs. if you're looking to stick with stock height, moogs tend to be the coil of choice, eibachs being the lowering spring for most. if you're on a budget, KYB GR2's are a good stock type shock/strut; koni's and bilstein are the more primo choices (but can break the bank for some)

Re: shocks

the front air ride setups put a air bag in the spring perch, so there is still a stock strut in there. without it, then wheel would pretty much fall off.
