Re: coil over shocks in the rear?

are they monroe? i took a pretty new set off my dads el camino years ago that looked exactly like those. had to take the lil metal doohickey from one end and made custom mounts too since my rear was flipped, but they did help a bit. i think his old one was a 79 elco, and back then he was one of those "gimme the best" guys at the parts store with that truck, i put them on the blazer since i had a small notch and the weight of the top made me bottom out alot. didnt completely take care of my problem, but did alot, enough to drive around comfortabley

If you haul loads or tow a trailer they are helpful.

My truck has them on it in the back. Mine's a 1981 C20 with the aftermarket tow package.
