    Hey Fellas

    what is everyone running for shocks in our 55/56 lowered cars. I’ve got Aerostars and 2 inch blocks D9B64D3C-8F44-4335-B839-E238B0A5A5F6.png

    Stock in the front of mine with Aeros; stock rubber stops also.
    If you shorten your rears your axle may not drop enough to remove a flat tire. It’s tough with a stock height and just 6”’wide rims over the original 5”….

    I'm using the KYB shocks that are in the stickies section. I dont remember the part numbers. I did add extensions to my back shock. I have Aerostars and 2" blocks on the back. No issues at all.
