Asked on June 18, 2012

Can you replace air shock (front) with regular light truck shocks without using a conversion kit? (98 5.4, 4wd)

I have air shocks and the front one need replacing. spending that king of money is draining, so i am looking for an alternative. I have heard that it is and isn't possible to do this. so before i anything i would like to hear your opinion.

Every penny has its worth. Regular shocks are not designed for air compression functions so I wonder where you get the idea it can work.
