Re: Monroe Shocks for Lowered '68

This is what my research got me yesterday.
Ride height after 3" lower coils is about 11" on center for front shock mounts.

OEM Front: mounting 1/2" X 1 & 3/8", Compressed 11.875", Extended 18.375", travel 6.5"
Monroe Sensa-Trac (think) is # 37040

Shortest we could find in Monroe Reflex w/ same mounting: Comp 9.75", Ext 14.75", travel 5.0" and Part # 911090.

Just not sure if this is short enough & the last thing I want to do is pay over $100 to ruin a pair of brand new shocks in a short while.

BTW, how tall are your bump stops from the top of lower A-arm? Please, help a brother out.
