I need to replace 2 of the struts in my 1996 ls with stock air ride... does anyone know if i could use stock air ride from a different year.. Please any help would be great....

I know 95 and 96 are interchangable and I think 97. Which 2 are bad? My suggestion, like alot of other members, would be to convert it to shocks/springs. If you already have 2 blown shocks, something else is on its way out also. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but very soon. It's cheaper to convert it over. You can get the kit for $400-600 for all 4 corners and 2 used stock air shocks, if you can find them, will cost about $400. Dont convert just 2, I did https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...ir-shocks.html and I'm not happy at all.

yes you can use any air struts from 95-00 cars, however it will be hard to source them nowadays. plus when you do they will be pretty expensive, and will eventually fail again in the near future along with the other 2 that was not replaced as already mentioned.

this is the reason most folks convert to conventional shock/spring which is a much cheaper and solid alternative. best of luck to you!
