Is anyone on here running Mopar Performance rear shocks? Opinions on using them for a street/strip application? Thanks

How do you like the Viking double adjustables? I just ordered them for my 64 Valiant.
The Vikings are great shocks. Kim
Are the MP shocks even available anymore?

The harder a car launches, the stiffer the rear shocks need to be on extension. You want controlled seperation, especially if it's a stick. A lot of people like Rancho, Viking & others not only because they are adjustable, but the adjustments tend to be on the stiffer side.

Did not like the Mopar shocks with the S/S springs. Would not let the car lift, and car would not hook at all. I use Competiton Engineering adjustables.

I just put new old stock springs in, is there a shock that will lift my 67 barracuda a inch or two?

Only springs or shackles can alter ride height. Shocks control the suspension action. (Unless you use coil-over shocks, which do both.) Shackles tend to be a bad idea. You would need a heavier/higher rate leaf spring.

Does anyone no of a coil over shock that will work on a 67 barracuda?
As mentioned above, the dual adjustable Viking shocks are a good drag racing shock. Of course, you need to build something to support the top mounting points. Here's my vote

air shocks but you don't want them.
if you you want it higher call espo and get a set of +1" or +2" springs.
