L.Fallon Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 The rear shocks on my 55 Patrician are worn and I was wondering if adjustable air shocks would be better than gas ones ? Thanks in advance Guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCraigH Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Why would you want air shocks? Isn't your T-L working? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Packards1 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Don't reinvent the wheel. I have heavy duty Red Ryder by Gabriel on my 56 and they are great. Besides you have torsion level to compensate for increaded weight. There are enough things in life we have to deal with without adding more unessary projects.

Guest imported_PackardV8 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I'm guessing he needs more ground clearence for UK and EU roads. Talk to us Fallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Speedster Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Installing a Switch for manually controlling T-L is a much better project for adjusting ground clearance and has many other advantages. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I've found that I very seldom put my T-L in Automatic mode, I just adjust it where I want it and leave it there. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> A lot less wear and tear on system components that way, also.

Guest Albert Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I put Air lift shocks in the back on my 54 Patrician, i found a set from Monroe (MAX-739) fit as i also pull a 15 foot house trailer with the Patrician, and it really helps out.

L.Fallon Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 Sorry Guys, I forget adjustable air shocks are for ride height. My T.L is working fine and I have'nt had any ground clearnce problems. My Patrician gets driven and not just on Sundays, but the rear shocks are worn out. What would you guys recomend. Sorry again for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_PackardV8 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 see the 55-56 X-ref thread in this forum for the rear shocks i am using on my 56 Exec. Not sure if 55 Pat would be different or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_PackardV8 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 From my notes:Maremont Classic part# 82066, top S1 Lower EB1(5/8 bolt dia. 1.44 total width). Extended 22.55 inches, collapsed 13.35 inches. 9.2 stroke.However i believe i am actualy using the Terrain Tamer G60107 or G60137.Minor mods to lower mount was needed.

L.Fallon Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Thanks everybody for your replys. Great info supplied,Ill try out these numbers and let you know how I get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Albert Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 The monroe # 31125 fits the 51-56 standard supension only. It has a 3/8-16tpi stem both ends 12.250 compressed length 20.750 fully extended with 8.5" travel. Now if I knew the dimensions for the torson level system I may be able to cross over, the front shocks are the same 51-55 with the torsion system which is 5157 in monror sensatrac or LE10001 (pair) or 5751 single monro Matic plus.
