Installation of shocks is more of a job than you think -- if there is a Sears store near you I would suggest a fact finding trip there to discover the cost of air shocks and the labor for install at that store -- I wanted new shocks on a vehicle similar to yours and the tech at sears had to cut the old shock to get it off (the cost was the same as simple install) .... air shocks have lines just like the car tires w/ valve and you can use a tire air guage to determine PSI -- you should have seperate liines to front and rear to level the ride of the car and load .... plus if you go Sears you will get a warranty for the work and the shocks -- be sure to ask all this when you go on the fact finding mission ... only decide this is for you after you talk to the counter dude at the store ------.............

You wouldn't want them in the front, the ride would be so rough it'd rattle your teeth out. In the back it's relatively easy, unbolt the old shocks, bolt on the new ones, they come with small diameter airline.Hook air line to each shock, run lines toward center of rear bumper, drill hole for the air valve in bottom of center of bumper. Install valve in the bottom of bumper. Hook air lines to valve. Now fill with air till you reach minimum recommended air pressure. Drive it around a little...if you need to put a little more air in. Hope this helps you.
