suspension questions

[Guest PonyBoy]

been reading for a while searched all over need some help. got a 2003 pathy and i seem to have blown out my shocks!!! I hook up a empty 6x10 trailer and my backdrops to within half inch of the wheel well. any ways seen a lot on suspenion topics here but nothing on towing. was looking at the 2 inch lift from 4x4parts. w shock and strut setup would go best for hauling a trailer. was looking at the rncho struts and 5000 package any advice would help. thanks

Um, shocks don't have anything to do with load carrying capacity, only shock absorption. It's a unibody mommy-mobile, what do you expect?

Yeah no kidding. -argue-

 

Ponyboy, if you do alot of towing, you can look into airbags that fit inside your rear coils. Airlift is a company that makes a set for your Pathy. They look like this.

I've got those in my 97 for towing, you can also get full kit with the onboard compressor. Just the basic set shown is around $70 and takes 1-2 hours to install.
