Yes, and gas shocks up front just KILL the smooth ride type3s are known for.
I had a set of them in the rear, and while they did raise the rear about 1
inch (it helped the torsion bar sag), they made the car ride more stiffly than
the oil shocks I replaced them with. I went back to oil shocks in the rear, just
to help soften the ride. Much better, and my car is lower than Keith's. : )
