The only problem that I would see is that they are super fat so fitting them on the beam up front might prove to be tedious.

Running a nice and correctly done air setup is always tedious if you engineer it yourself.

If you are running it on the back look into the 7001 series

7001 for sure on the back. I wonder if you can squeeze them up front.

I cant see how this set would work on the beam

Air shocks work fine for me in the front. The front doesnt weigh, plus its not to much work to install them. Shockwaves work great for the rear also.

I got mine from autozone, if you have a link pin front end just go to autozone and ask for some for the rear of a 70 bug, they fit the front also. Plus they are lifetime guarantee for 65 bucks.
