Just the facts, ma'am
Oops. Sorry Kieth. It was Dartnabout's idea. I'm getting tired from being bounced around

Yes, it is recommended. This is what I used...
KYB Gas-a-Just Shock
If you can find Bilsteins with the same travel, they are a better choice...but these are pretty damned good.
Thanks.

Matt...90% street use in California on their roads, not ours.
You see these? 1963-74 MOPAR A, B, E Body 3 Way Adjustable Shock, Front 3 way adjustable for less than 50.00!
The roads here are better.

I have never understood lowering a mopar.
I like to raise them up Super Stock style.
When I first starting daily driving my dart, I changed the wheels from 13 to 14 inch and got a taller tire.
Then I cranked the torsion bars up 20 turns each side. YOWZA...... changed the ride big time. But then the back looked really sagged with the original tired leafs out back.
I ended up turning down 5 turns till I get new springs.
On my wagon it really worked to raise it because wagons have some heavy duty leafs on the back. I did 15 up turns on the torsion bars and I like the tall, aggressive stance

I am getting these Rancho RS9000XL Shock Absorbers RS999114
Those are truck shocks Tim... I have those very shocks on my 78 W200
I am not buying these, just pointing them out..
Yep perfect length for ss springs.
KYB Gas-a-Just Shock
Rancho RS9000XL Shock Absorbers RS999114
compare them
Length is only part of the equation...
People are using them for my application.
Cant find good shocks for SS springs. KYB are good, just looking for a little better.
Two things... SS springs are really designed for straight line. They aren't bad street springs though.
Two: I guarantee if you call Bilstein directly, they're going to have the shock you need.
People eat tide pods, doesn't mean it's smart
On monday...I will.
Mancini Sells these Rancho shocks for this app
good plan.On monday...I will.
Just remember this, and I was told this from Ron Sutton(if you don't know him, Google him, suspension guru) , there's as many ways to set up a suspension as there are opinions on politics. What works for one, may not work for anyone else.
