90's Imp hi jackers

["Mark Swingle" <mark.swingle@xxxxxxxxx>]

I did it on mine.  All that was involved was three things:
1)  Replace front strut assemblies with assemblies from a non-front air
suspension car.
2)  Remove rear shocks and gradually let rear axle drop.  Replace air bags
with coils springs and be sure to put in the coil spring cushions.
3)  Replace rear shocks with either standard or air shocks.

Be sure that no lines or hoses from old air suspension are in the way.  Now
have the car aligned.  That's all there is to it.  The only thing that will
be not quite right is the mounting plate on a 4 wheel air car is different
from ones with a coils spring from the factory.  What this means is the coil
spring cushion will not snap in to the pad on the axle like it did on the
old car, but the spring will keep it there.

If you have overhead display, it will display now always display CHECK AIR
SUSPENSION.  Have not tried to find a way around that yet.

well finally i got around to it today. looked up the price for the hi
jackers that are for the imperial (same as the new yorker) if i remember
right someone had said $50 a peice or more? well my book shows them at $29

Also, i'm still stumped on the air suspension to coil's thing. I talk to one
of the local chrysler dealers and they say its alot more work than just
putting on regular struts and coils, but then again sumone at my work says
that he's changed over the chrysler air systems like that numerous times...
i don't know what to beleive any more....which one is it???
