Cutlass extended air shocks for your 78-88 G Body lift kit project
Are you planning on putting a lift in your 78-88 G Body? These extended Cutlass air shocks fit all 78-88 Chevy G Body platform cars and work great to give you a temporary boost in the rear of the car.
Our air shocks are designed for lifted cars. They are longer than the stock shock absorbers and generally work on lifts from 3 to 7 inches. The shocks come with air line and a valve. You can run the airline from the shocks to the back part of your car where you mount the valve.
The valve is the same type of valve that a tire would have. You can use the same type of air chuck to put air into the shocks. Putting air in the shocks will allow you to raise the rear of your car a few extra inches in cases where you need just a little extra boost. An example would be if you have several people riding in the back seat and need some extra lift.
These extended air shocks fit the following vehicles from 1978 to 1988: 78-88 Buick Regal, 78-81 Buick Century, 78-88 Chevy El Camino, 78-83 Chevy Malibu, 78-88 Chevy Monte Carlo, 78-88 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 82-86 Pontiac Bonneville, 78-80 Pontiac Grand Am, 78-87 Pontiac Grand Prix, 78-81 Pontiac Lemans and 78-87 Gmc Caballero. See fitment table below for a full list of applications.
The lift shocks are a bolt-on design and are specifically designed for cars running lift springs or lift cups.
Why do I need longer Cutlass air shocks when lifting my car?
When lifting the front and rear of your car, the stock shock absorbers are not long enough to provide proper operation. The shocks will often bottom out on bumps in the road and cause an unusually harsh ride. This can make your car ride poorly and experience handling issues as well.
When raising the suspension, UCL lift shocks will give you the extra travel you need to ride right. Our shocks are designed for lifts ranging from 3 inches up to 7 inches. The air shocks simply bolt in place of your original units.
Quite often your factory shocks are already in poor condition and adding a lift will only make the problem worse. Do the job right and install longer G Body extended shocks for your car lifting project.
How are UCL’s Cutlass air shocks different from others?
UCL air shocks are longer than the stock units. They are designed to be used with a lifted suspension. The shocks have the following features:
- ● Longer length than stock
- ● Includes airline and air valve for operation
- ● Valve allows you to fill shocks with a standard tire filling air hose
- ● Pump up the shocks for a few extra inches of lift
- ● Adding air to the shock will stiffen the ride
- ● Add extra weight capacity to the rear of your car
- ● Helps prevent tire rubbing in the rear when overloaded
- ● Should not be used as a long term lifting method
- ● For temporary lifting the car and stiffening the suspension
Durable black powder coating lasts 100x longer than spray painted parts
When choosing extended Cutlass air shocks for your car lift project, be sure to note the finish on the parts. All of Universal Car Lifts parts feature a durable black powder coat finish. We start by cleaning the raw metal parts with a degreaser solution to facilitate a permanent finish bonding. The parts are then sent through a large oven and heated to encourage off gassing. This uniformly bakes off any impurities from the parts.
After pretreating the parts in an oven, the lifted Cutlass air shocks are professionally sprayed with a high end powder coat gun in a clean room spray booth. The shocks are then sent back through the oven where they bake at the proper temperature to obtain a permanent bond.
This powder coat technique is the same method that new car manufacturers use to ensure their parts last virtually forever. It prevents rust from forming on the parts which will weaken the steel and cause premature failure.
Beware of “knock-off brand” sellers who use cheap hardware store spray paint to finish their parts. The finish will look like crap and the parts will almost immediately rust. The corrosion will eventually cause the parts to fail and could cause your rear end to fall out of your car.
