Is it possible to get air shocks for my 08 jeep patriot? The reason I have a small dirt bike ( 250lb ) and so the ass end of my jeep does not sag so much. I use a motorcycle carrier on my 2" hitch! ( 50lbs ) ( Total Weight 300lbs )
Thanks :)

Welcome to the group. As far as I know, nobody makes air shocks for the Patriot. Not that I can find at least. Might want to try a spacer in the top spring mount.

Welcome to the forum!

No air shocks for the Patriot that I know of.

Since you have a 2008, the springs might be old and tired.

You could try replacing them with stock along with the above mentioned spacer, or consider a stiffer rear spring.

Another member used springs from a Dodge Journey to solve a similar issue:

Well looks like I may not need the shocks after all. The my new bike is a 2022 Honda Navi Motorcycle.MSRP is $1807.00 It weighs around 250lb and the Hitch weights around 50lbs. Total is around 300lbs total max, I had a neighbour who weighs 440lbs. I had him get on the rear bumper and jump up and down on it. When he was jumping up and down on the bumper it only dropped 1 1/2" to 2" not bad! This is a cool little bike to screw around on. Max Speed 55mpg and get 110 miles to the gal. Thanks for the help guys and for the spacer suggestions. :)
