Our style shock is a common one, just need to find one that'll take our bolt sizes and is a bit shorter in length. Local auto parts store should have what you need in stock. It'll be less travel for the springs and may keep misalignments down if the shocks can keep the" drop" to a slower pace....

...hope I said that to where it's understandable.....
I put about 60 miles on today and I'm really happy with everything. The ride quality isn't too far from stock, I dare say that it's even better now for driving around town. Thanks for sharing some info on shocks but I don't plan on changing a thing now although it would be much safer to get shorty shocks.

I've done all mine long ago w/fishing line.
Fishing line to cut it and automotive goo gone to break down the tape. Took just a bit over 30 minutes.

Well, of all the attributes I might appreciate in a woman, riding my @$$ and threatening police action didn't make the list. Anyway, the farther away you get from me the better I look.

Cool, I find that about one of the safest ways imo to remove badges with no paint damage.
