    Assembly line ring toss?

    Pulled out the rear springs of the El Camino this morning. Apparently in 1972 they were handing out rubber spring pads like lollypops at the dentist's office. Thought I'd share

      added by owner to keep spring from rattle'n around with air shocks pumped up..
      I had 4 on each spring on mine, as the noise was crazy

          That makes sense. There were air shocks on it when I got it. These "add ons" were only on the passenger side. Is it common for the passenger side spring to sag more?

              Pre-load for a harder launch!

              BTW-all El Camino's came from the factory with air shocks.

                  Got it. Not dragstrip savvy at all, I'm afraid. Removed Hi-Jackers, had no idea they came with air shocks stock. Right on

                          Better off with a sticker on the passenger window: "NO FAT CHICKS. TRUCK WILL SCRAPE."

                                      You got any extra 'extras'? My wife ain't exactly lost weight since we got married either.
