Thread: Standard springs with 2" terrafirma shocks

Without knowing the specifics of that shock, more than likely you will be ok on the front.

On the rear, if the shock doesn't limit the travel and the standard airbag gets pulled on, then it will eventually pull the airbag apart. I'd be very careful with long travel shocks and SLS air springs.

Thanks . Pretty much have decided to replace both shocks and springs. The Terra Firma 2" lift springs and shocks are only a couple of month old and hardly used at all, so will probably sell them. PO put them on just before I bought it.

The OP's car has coils, not SLS. As l read it, he wants to fit auxiliary, helper air bags.
Fit the new springs, then jack up the chassis, making sure the coils dont dislocate.

Argh, you're right. I misread that re the type of airbags.

You will know as soon as you're doing the shocks up if the springs come loose. I don't think you'll have any problems with retaining the TF shocks with standard springs.
