Bill,
 
I think Alan is referring to air shocks.  These = shocks can be pressurized to raise the vehicle.  They are mounted in = pairs, usually at the back of the vehicle.  They also have an air fitting = and are usually mounted with a crossover line to ensure even pressure.  You = can air them up with a regular air compressor.
 
Has anyone ever used these on a Vanagon?  I am = also considering a pair as  a cheap fix for my Vanagon's saggy butt.
