the 7 leaf and the composite are about the same so start with your current settings.

I don't believe they are gas shocks but I'll just see how it goes. Current Koni website indicates these are low-pressure gas, but mine are from the late 80s so who knows?

Thanks guys, I was just concerned about everyone on some older threads always indicating that you must get shocks that are designed for composite springs. We'll see about that.

The shocks don't know if the spring is steel or composite.
