Will this Airlift Airover shock work?

I have been doing air, hydro installs for years, all I'm saying is there is a right way and a wrong way. I could easly sell the kits I have made for the coilovers that you have to fab or rebuild to make air work with UAS. My point was why are you going to try and piece all this stuff together and hope it works, when you could just buy what works and install it. If you know how to fab or machine parts then go that route. I have seen suspension fail and it not a simple fix it can lead to serious cost along with your life. Just my opinion that all.

see this will go on either end of those shocks dependening on how you need/want to mount them. then the adjustable pillow mount or brackets of your choice will mount this to make the piece to mount to the shock tower. walla Like magic! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Air-Lift-344...#ht_1460wt_919 then this piece http://ksportusa.com/products/pillow...rd-pillowball/

Maybe it'll fit. What are you going to do for the rears?
I have an IS, but the suspension setup is similar... so I'm trying to figure out what to do back there.

The thing is that im not going to go out and buy it just for hopes that it will work. If you read my past post. I Said I would call them tomorrow. but first i have to find our stock or close compassion. shock specs. Once i have them, they should be able to tell me if they have a sleeve/bellow style shock that will bolt on. If you go to their page, it tells you, that all application are ready to ride and go! also if you look they have studs, just like the coil that someone posted up above. All you have to do is buy the pillow mount or UAS billet and plate and it will bolt up just like the above coilover. all it is is a fancy stock shock mount

I dont understand the reason to put together a system like this with the tons of support in the air suspension community to make life much easier for people for around the same price and better support.

Nope. all you need is the spacers and the pillow mount from what i was told you can use your stock shock mount too! And it mounts to your shock tower using their rod end stud.
Its not a 'Frankenstein air suspension'. If you go to their web page. They are pretty much complete. Either run your stock or by some shock adjustable mounts to get even better adjustments out of them.
Show me a kit that even comes close to that price for 1200. You can get all 4 airover shocks for 1000 shipped and 200 for your extra parts and From a great company. Airlift has been around along time longer than Ksport!
what extra work is that?t Please explain?

Either way, if it's more work or not... who cares? If 1SickGS300 comes up with a cheaper solution that does the same thing, then why not? And if it doesn't work, then lesson learned... he, or someone else will see where it went wrong and go on from there.
Someone has to do the footwork. Just because there are some kits already out there doesn't mean someone can't keep coming up with another solution.
If that were the case, there'd only be one brand exhaust, one brand intake, only one turbo kit... etc...

That was just a reference i used for the items. It could have sold already, but there are more out there, youll just have to search around. I have called a few places all lready and have gotten some great quotes on these items needed. Also im not trying to call you guys(Ksport) or other companies out. If people want to buy your producst then they should. You guys have proven yourself and make great products. I just dont want to pay 2300 for air shocks and i can build mine cheaper for what i need. To everyone else that is upset because i have found a cheaper solution... Why get butt hurt? You Mad Bro I guess i should just listen to you and not figure things out and believe everything you say because you know it all right?
