S&W sell a long shock mount that you use adjustable
brackets on... weld it on then get the longest shock
that will fit... make when you weld the brackets
on to give enough room for the pinion to be rolled up
or down for pinion angle... this is what the bracket
looks like.... once you get it figured out you can
cut the bottom off

Better to lower the bottom then raise the top. I had 14" qa1s on my 69 Dart. they bottomed out on our bumpy return road all the time. I switched to 17" and couldn't be happier.

The pictures I sent you show my shocks mounted on the upper end of the housing mounts to help clear the 31 inch tall slicks, I normally run it a lot lower, almost on the lowest hole combination with al the other tires I have and run That does lower the back of the car down but it doesn't move any more weight onto the rear tires according to my scales

I have all the rear gussets and closure straps with the kit, just tacked into place, Here is a pic lookin right at it

---

The gusset I'm talking about doesnt come with any
kit... if you look at my last pic you can see where
the lateral link hooks on at the right... that black
triangle thing slightly above is what I'm talking
about... get a piece of 3/16" stock and make one
(the bottom of the ladder bars where the lateral
link hooks on takes alot of side loading going around
corners)... also I weld a piece of tubing on the
bottom to attach to the shock brackets(part on the
rearend) to help stiffen those(bottom bar in pic)
