I pulled a complete working Auto Load Leveling system from a parts car to install on my 88, everything is intact except the original line that connected in the rear at the shocks. I have new Munroe air shocks and all new line splicing the original connection at the compressor to my new line. Now the only problem I'm having is the actual connection for the shocks. Monroe provides us with a T fitting and line to both shocks thats great but because I don't have the original connection for the rear I need something that will thread onto the valve part of the T connection ( a female end that treads on) Does anyone know what I'm talking about or where I can find what I'm looking for?

if your trying to hook up to a factory air system i believe the t fitting you need is a monroe ak-16 if the line going to the pump is 1/8'. if its 3/16" you need a ak-14. i think you hav a fill t which is for 2 lines and access to fill manually i dont know of any cap that will fit on the valve end to hold that 3rd line..

Awesome thanks for the info sounds Like I got the manual fill T from Monroe I guess I should have know this before I ordered the shocks. I'll look for the quick connect push on type T from the hardware store or order the proper Monroe T if I have to. Just curious how are both your systems working out?

Casper: You are 100% right about that, heard of a few wagons doing the same. It's called "weak floor". unitized body.

Actually it's called putting a load on parts that were designed to dampen loads and not carry them. Increasing the spring strength is the proper way to go.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

Well the install went together smooth everything works. What a cool little system, one thing I noticed is you really need a heavy load on the back of the car for the load sensor to kick the compressor in. I figured two people standing on the hitch would do it, but no. Oh well I'm sure it will come in handy hauling the trailer and bikes  ;D
