Re: [T3] Are secondary shock possible.

<x-flowed>I used air-shocks for a while.  I didn't like them.  They tended to leak 
down over a weeks time and for the life of me I couldn't find/repair the 
source of it.  Ride was too stiff.  I recommend checking your current 
shocks to make sure they're okay and replacing if not.

Besides, if you are hauling really heavy stuff in a non-commercial 
vehicle you  should expect the vehicle to bottom out.
