My truck is a 1950 Chevvy PU and it is light on rear end. I used the Camaro mono leaf spring which was very soft on it's own. The adjustable shocks gave me the stability in cornering acting as a rear sway bar and also improved the ride.

is this shock coilover compatiable

Will the shock work with a tubular control arm with a 2 inch lower spring pocket? Part 2 See first question..... Q -- Will the shock work with a tubular control arm with a 2 inch lower spring pocket? A -- If your tubular control arm only has a 2" hole for the shock then you will have to cut some material out of the control arms to allow the stock to pass through it. I was not asking about the opening, I was asking because with the lowered spring pocket on the control arms, does the shock have enough travel? Or will you have to use a shock extension? If so what part number?
