53-54 chevy shocks

we lowered my buddys ride and now we need some shocks , any one got a part # for after market shocks?

 

let me know too ! pm me if ya find out

 

front or rear? im ***uming the rear. i put air shocks on mine napa part # MA743 14" collapsed-23" extended but mine is pretty low. are you using the stock mounting holes? need more info

 

I used monroe 33049 in the rear, stock for tri-5 chevy. For the front -2 coils monroe 31176 shocks. Replacement sway bar link moog k6630

 

53sled, the "-2" you refer to , is that 2" drop coils or 2 rounds cut from coil? my lowering job is coming soon, i went with 3" lowering blocks in the rear and 2" drop coils in the front, Im thinking air shocks for the rear cuz roads around here ****...
oh and not to hijack the thread but how wide of a rim can I stuff under the front, offset and otherwise?? I just put an old set of 15x8 and im grinding on the tie rod... i want to use the tires cuz i have em,

 

In the back of the Monroe catalogs and in most other brands shock catalogs they have listings of their shocks by end and length.

You may need to dust off your official decoder ring but once you find the Monroe number for the shock that will work you are off to the races as that number can be crossed pretty easy.

 

stock rims are 15x5.5 thats what im running im ***uming you could get away with 15x7 not sure i had the same problem with 15x8 so i went with stock width looks better in my opinion.

 

not trad but Gas Shocks and radial tires

 

Broke a shock on My Nomad and got to NAPA just a minute (6:01)after they closed, guy was just getting in his car but would not reopen. Autozone actually had rear shocks for it. Had to drive about 30 miles to get them. This happened the night before going to GoodGuys show. The shocks were about 17 bucks each for rear. They also had the fronts in stock at this particular store.

 

this is going to be my long haul car so i too am running radials...boo-hoo...but hey i scored em for cheap..they are 225/75 15...i know theyre big but im hoping to use em..they were going on a pickup truck but the pickup went without em!
