We have been working with Posies Street Rods and have put together an awesome shock, spring combination for these cars. Give them a call 717-566-3340.

Need help with how to choose the correct shock for your application, Call or Email.

 

The picture to the right is one of our more popular rear leaf spring application lengths, other lengths are available. The Mounted or Ride Height measurement should be done with the vehicle on the ground and loaded (fuel, tools, etc.) to simulate the normal ride height. The Mounted (RH) for this shock would be taken center to center at the shock mounting bolts. Also while your are under the vehicle taking this measurement check for proper clearance on exhaust, rear dif. housing and axle tubes. Why? Well 3" of shock travel is great, but if the dif. housing hits the floorboard in 1" you still have a problem. Most mounting configurations for these type applications are what we call eye/eye shocks, but occasionally we see eye/stem or even stem/stem. See diagram below for more info on how to measure different types shocks.

 

 
        The chart below shows how to measure shocks with different mounting configurations.
