This may not apply, but how old are your shocks? They only last a could of years. I had to replace mine before I ever got into the air.

Subject: REFLECTOR:DOOR SHOCKS
I can’t be the only one who experienced this: My doors won’t stay up with the Factory supplied door shocks. I installed them exactly as instructed and the shocks are just “weak” enough to let the drop. My doors have the strake extensions on them (with extra elbow room inside). That could’ve added weight. Do I simply order the same kind – with a higher poundage?
Does anyone know the capacity of the ones supplied by the factory?
