do any of you know a site where i can pick a shock, say from monroe or any other manufacturer, by collapsed and extended lengths ?
i am re mounting the rear upper shock mounts on my 57 straight up and down, to gain room for an exhaust system.
i found some nitrogen gas shocks, but they are $39.00 each. was hoping to maybe find some monroes or gabriels hopefully cheaper.
i went to pep boys and napa today and they dont search by lengths, only year of vehicle.
i need a collapsed length of 10" and an extended length of 15".
i fabbed up the new upper mounts today and have them bolted in, but need the new shocks. once i get it all in i will post pics.
thanks guys
