Gabriel 34057 shocks on front of an A-body?

Personally I would look at replacing your torsion bars instead of using a shock like this. As the mounting points on the front end is not designed for carrying the weight. This is similar to when people use air shocks on the rear for worn out leaf springs and end up stress fracturing the hole at the top mounting point At a cost of $150 a pair for an additional $65 you can get a set of 1.03" torsion bars.
