I have used the search feature and I am going crossed eyed now and I still have not found the answer I am looking for. Can anyone tell me who/where I can find New replecement rear air ride shocks for my 93 Typhoon. I know I will hear some people say ditch them and buy KYB or save my money and get the coil overs. I just want to know where I can buy new air ride shocks that are direct bolt ons. Your help is greatly appreciated!!!

Re: Stock Typhoon rear "Air Ride" shocks
General Motors would be my only guess, if they are still made. I know the system itself is adapted from a Cadillac of some sort, so its possible they are still available.
I still have mine somewhere, they were good when I pulled the system 5 years ago, if youre interested I can try and find them.

Yep, I got a set a few years ago.. They were Gabriels from Pep Boys.. Everything, including the air lines, fit without issue..
I ended up yanking them when I lowered the Ty as they were too soft and bottomed out all of the time.. The KYB Monomax ended up working out much better in the back..

Re: Stock Typhoon rear "Air Ride" shocks
Just for reference, is there a part number for the KYB monomax that work better for a Typhoon that has the Belltech 2" lowering springs? I know there are a ton of threads out there giving the part numbers for the KYB shocks I just want to make sure there is not a difference for the trucks that have been lowered. Lowering may not make a difference but I just want to be on the safe side.

Re: Stock Typhoon rear "Air Ride" shocks
I am currently using the Monroe Air Max shocks. They work great for me. Bolted right in. I don't remember the ID#, but they should be able to look it up at the parts shop. Only mod was fitting the new air line into the T-fitting at the air compressor. You could also just cut the ends of the stock air lines going to the shocks, and fit them right into the new shock fitting.
