I have a 51 1/2 and want to mount the rear shocks "inboard" of the frame so I can install larger tires and rims. Anyone make a kit for this with the stock springs?????
Thanks,
Tom

I purchased the entire setup to perch and secure a camaro diff for $20. That way you can add an ear for your shock mount where ever you need it. I've found that the generic kits are just that....generic, and usually wind up hanging on the wall.
