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.

read though my build and you may find that what I did on my 70 will work for you and you maybe able to order locally ..I beleive the # is Monroe 5758 off a 50 chysler....I have over 10k miles on them and no problems

stefan · 10-23-2010, 12:09 PM

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$

Crap I should write down that # since so many ask....just ask for a shock for a 50 chysler when the # comes up it will be very close to that one..sorry for the bad info
