Anyone know where to get adjustable air shocks to raise and lower front end to be able to get over speed bumps on 1988 GT?

I don't know if they are arund anymore but in the mid 90s I bought Gabriel High Jacker air shocks for my 69 Camaro convertible. I had bf Goodrich 50s in the back and the fender would literally lay on the tire so they were necessary, made it hard as a truck but worked for what I needed them for.
Hope this helps somewhat.

I have front air shocks/compressor installed on a lowered 87 Mera to give me enough clearance to get out of the driveway without bottoming the vehicle.

Monroe http://www.monroe.com/en-US/products/Max-Air
Gabriel https://gabriel.com/light-v.../products/hijackers/

Email them, give them the Fiero shock PN and ask for the equivalent air shock number.

EDIT: found Monroe's dimensional data sheets

I plan to bring this vehicle to Daytona in a few weeks. If you are there take a few pictures and I will try to answer your questions.

It likely will be the only gunmetal gray Mera there so I should be easy to spot. These photos might help you with identification.
