Are you planning on converting the air ride system to shocks and struts doing away with air ride system?
If so there is a company on NC that makes a complete conversion kit. I did this on my Mark and big difference in ride and drive. Cannot remember the exact name but they have a you tube video...
Mark viii have shocks on the rear this is an easy conversion. Have aligned after completion. Know what you are doing when installing front. Since it involves un hooking calipers and other steering components.
Drove down have two brothers on NC. They are coded on Saturday but had security person on site to open up and my parts were ready. I bought the lowering kit which is great. They also have a small museum with some great items . Been two years no problems.
same problem no replacement gaskets available. I am trying rubber strip available on eBay with approximately same width. These are self stick but am sure would not hold up to wind. Will use black FlexSeal to fill gaps and as additional strength. May not work but no oth option
Try Strutmasters in NC . For around 500. You get front and rear
Conversions. Did my 96 mark two years ago easy to install and makes a big difference in ride.
