OK guys...need some advice

I've suspected for some time that my wife has been having an affair. The
usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up. She started going out
"with the girls" a lot recently although when I ask which girls, it's always
"just some friends from work, you don't know them".


I always look for her ride coming home but she always walks from around the corner, I can usually hear a car driving off as she walks toward the house.
If it really is a taxi why not just get dropped off in front? I once picked
up her cell phone just to see what time it was and she went berserk and
screamed that I should never touch her phone again, and why I was checking
up on her.


Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night she went out again and I decided to check on her. I decided I was going to hide underneath the back of my El Camino which would give me a view of the whole street so I could see which car she was getting out of. It was while I was lying underneath my El Camino that I noticed one of the air shocks lower than the other side, it had a leak in the shock itself.


Should I buy a new set of air shocks or should I just take the opportunity to buy the set of air bags that I have always wanted? It's a big decision so I thought I would ask for your advice. Maybe I'll just try to buy one used air shock off eBay? I am very stressed about this issue. Please help.


Thanks

Air Bags, I think J.C. Whitney sells them for 69.95 a set. I believe that is what I paid for mine from them.

Yep 69.95 cheaper than good Air Shocks and air bags have the ability to help set axel preload for good launches. Air shocks can't do that they have a minimum air pressure that Air Bags don't have.

Hey good luck ether way

OK, you caught me if you've seen it before. I stole it from a fishing list and adjusted it for Elkies. :P

The wife isn't really cheating BUT the Diablo does have leaky shocks. My father bought gas shocks for the front and new Air Shocks for the back of his Elky and his old shocks are pretty new (he got them on sale real cheap). So I'll be swapping in his new shocks for him and he's giving me his old shocks. Plus I get the joy of swapping out his pinion seal...yuk! Stinky gear oil, I HATE IT!
