Hi Tom:

Regular shocks will have no effect on the ride height. I think Victoria
British has new rear springs for around $100.00. My advise is to pick
one of these up. The cost is not that much more than air shocks. As an
option you can take your spring to a spring shop and have the arch
brought back up to specs. Here again the cost is probably not that much
different from a new spring but it might be worth checking out.

Hope this helps.
