    I'm running a rear transverse spring in my newest build. Using a '40 front spring mounted behind the axle with my home made mounts. My question is shocks. Travel length of the shock will adjust where my mount's will go, and I'm looking for a shock with bushings at both end's (that a bolt will pass thru). Does anyone have an idea of where to find such a shock? Ideally I'd like to find an OEM shock I can pick up at say NAPA.

    Thank's
    Chris

    Look at early SAAB units. They are in the 9-14" range - compressed to extended. 5/8" eye on both ends. Cheap too.

    Thank's for the input, is that SAAB front or rear shock's? 5/8" eye sound's good but an american manufacturer would be good too.

    Are you running these shock's?

    Monroe should have what you need. Oil filled or gas charged either one.
