Thanks John
My current shocks are Monroe too. I traced the part number to fit 02" Mercury Villager mini van, as well as older jeep cj5,and cj 7.
And yes I see ride height can be adjusted behind seat under carpet. That was the first thing I was going to do until closer inspection found the bushings and spring isolators to be dry and cracked.
I will now go for replacement of bushings and isolators, adjust ride height. Try with current shocks and compare with the gas shocks I bought.
I have no intention of racing or even hard launches. Just a nice cruiser that is tight, is what I am looking for.

That's where it begins but you keep wanting more. It's best to work up to it slowly. You learn your car's personality better that way. Stay safe.
