i need shorter rear SHOCKS
 
hi, i am doing an AOL set up on my 83. i already have some drop shocks that worked perfect when i was just running a flip kit. now with the axle barried into the c notch, those are too long. can someone point me in the right direction. they need to be atleast 11'' compressed.

thanks!

I'm in the exact same boat on a square body I'm building right now. I've pored over the kyb, Monroe, and Gabriel catalogs looking for a short enough shock with no luck. I guess I'm going to wind up building new shock mounts to get the length back to where I can run a normal shock.

i heard front shocks work? most are 9/10''-14/15'' that would work for me but i am thinking i will only have 3-4'' going up. i need more than that....
