[V8] spring length

[Ed Kellock]

Dave, What shocks do you have back there currently? If stock/OE, then just
going to gas pressurized will give it a bit of a boots in height, BTDT.
Both Boge TurboGas and Bilstien HD will raise it up.  I've gone around and
around with HD's and ride quality and would recommend Boge to replace stock
shocks. Don't have any experience with the springs Ron mentioned. That and a
gas shock might give you more than you want.  If you do try the urS6 Avant
springs, you might want to keep your current shocks initially as a control
factor for comparison purposes.
