Re: ? which shocks do i need.

I would order shocks that would work with a 4/6 or 5/7 static drop.
I like using either Belltech or KYB's.

I've used kyb's from early classic for the 4-6 drop on a setup similar to yours without issues.

when i ran the 5758 monroe number at pepboys they said it was a 70s ford car shock and would not work because of the ends,but you never know they could be wrong, both kybs to my door were 47.00$
