Default Air Shocks.

So, I've got Skyjacker Airshocks on my firebird. I never knew what they were until my uncle told me what they are. On the driver's rear, the air line going to the shock is melted from the exhaust. The car leans a little low on the driver's side, and I can't get the left rear to go down, because it's routed through the driver's side shock. Anyone know where I could find new hose for them?

Thanks, smart ass. I looked. If you found something let me know.

I'm not too sure. It's just plastic hose about 2mm. It's not very big at all. I just don't know where I'd find it, or if it has to be some special high pressure hose or not.

if the hose is shot already, snip off a piece and bring it to your local hardware store. or auto-parts store.
though hardware first, is my suggestion.
In, fact , take off all the parts you can, (e.g. fittings) and ask for advice.
Hardware store first, auto parts store second, racing parts store third.

Find an aeroquip distributor nearby, bring the piece of hose (fitting to fitting) that needs to be replaced, and tell em to make you a new one.

It'd be like $30.

You're welcome.

Aeroquip distributors are awesome, especially if you can get hooked up with a commercial account.

That's how I built my insane fuel system. The guys are really informed about hose and fittings. For instance, they told me why I should use the blue "true bore" silicone coated hoses instead of the overdone stainless steel ones.

Aeroquip dealers rock!
