Has anyone put air shocks on A1 for ride leveling (one weak spring on rear)? How do I find part number compatibility? thanks

Shocks and the shock mounts are not designed to carry the vehicle weight.

Embarassed Brain fart. I asked Wes this question a couple years back. His fix was to shim the right rear spring down I believe.
