Default air shocks

I have an 89 bertone with sagging rear springs. I don't want to spend the extra money buying expensive parts if I can get away with some air shocks. I don't want to pour too much money into this car considering what it is. I just don't want the back of the car to slam the ground like it does anymore.

Look into Monroe Sensa trac shocks, they have a built in spring that aids in towing (tounge weight) also boosts..


my Cherokee has flat springs, those shocks lifted it 2 inches easy, and thats loaded with 200 lbs of junk in the back.

2 inches isn't near enough. It's already sitting as far down as it can go. I need at least 4 or 5 inches of lift to get it back to spec height. I will look into the monroe shocks. I hear that the 940 wagon's can take air shocks and that they will fit my 780. Anyone know what year that would be or even better, a part number?
