Air Ride ShockWave Lowering Systems are state-of-the-art airspring/shock combinations.
With the airspring around the shock absorber, a relocated shock is unnecessary. This also simplifies mounting, eliminates tire clearance issues, and maintains effective shock angle. ShockWaves use a billet QA1 racing shock with a
12-position valving adjustment to fine tune for ultimate ride quality.Many customers want a comfortable-riding air suspension only for the rear of a vehicle. The front may ride fine as is, or it may be
a traditional straight axle inappropriate for air suspension.
The ShockWave 7000 and 9000 accommodate such situations while ShockWave v3.0 is typically used on independent front suspensions.
ShockWave 7000
4" diameter, load capacity of 780lbs @ 100 psiDesigned for lighter weight vehicles and confined installation spacesRecommended for solid rear axle installations on vehicles weighing 1500lbs or less on rear axle
(T-Buckets, Model "A"s, 1933-34 roadsters/coupes, and most early pickups)Can also supplement rear leafspring suspensionNOT recommended for IFS or IRS installations (not enough load capacity)
ShockWave 90005" diameter, load capacity of 1200lbs @ 100 psiRecommended for solid rear axle installations where rear vehicle weight is 1500-2400lbs and
IRS installations on vehicles weighing 1500lbs or less per axleNOT recommended for IFS installations (not enough load capacity)Tapered sleeve airspring bellows for softer spring rate, more travel, and lower load capacity
ShockWave v3.0Latest refinement of the original ShockWaveRecommended for IFS and/or IRS installations on vehicles weighing 1500-2500lbs per axleNOT recommended for soild axle rear applications (not enough travel, too much load capacity)Double convoluted airspring bellows to achieve load capabilityDual-adjustment shock valving so compression and rebound can be adjusted separatelyAirspring endplates are 1" smaller to increase framerail clearance on many aftermarket IFSEndplates and bead rings are internally screwed together to eliminate fasteners previously used
