Extreme long shot but I know you guys in the east coast seem to have some older XJs floating around but I am on the hunt for a Shock Absorber leveling kit/system. I’ll post a pic of the diagram when I get home but basically the system consists of a compressor and wiring to air up the shocks. I do not know how it works right now but I’ll figure it out in the FSM. Model years it seems to have been for 84-86 XJs but I suspect it fits the AMC Eagle as well since the model years for the set up is 80-88(Eagles run).

The compressor I am after:

So are these like air shocks for the rear? Of course, there are plenty of other parts a cocoa red, but I’m trying to wrap my head around what it is. I know there was something like that for the Eagles with the higher towing capacity. If you can confirm they are the same between Eagle and XJ, I can post in the Eagle FB groups.

I think they are the same. I don't posses and Eagle parts book so I have no absolute way of telling if they’re the same. Which’s reminds me I’ll update my post with some pics.

I've got bits of the kit, haven't seen them in over 15 years !

 

air overload springs 27.02
air shock hardware kit

AMC tire accessory inflation kit air pump

Neat! All I have at the moment is just the shocks. Both front and rear. I can’t imagine this being too hard to find in the aftermarket world and rigging it up to work like factory. 
 

Maybe there’s one lingering back east.
