Getting Rid of the Hood Torsion Springs on the Early A-Body

The rate of the shocks are 300 per side. We got them from LST in Saskatoon, SK. The Part number for the spring is c19-14-1350n. He can put any style end on them as well.

Would it be possible to use the lift shocks from the rear hatch on the Durango?
They are very plentiful in junk yards and have eyes on both ends.
Thanks
