HEY BOB, how much on the shock's ???? 
just shocks or complete with springs and hardware.
these are sold as a shock ready for coil overs.
must buy the hardware kit also to install the spring.
Do you sell the aluminum piece that replaces the bottom rubber/poly bushing on the top shock mount?

i turn them on the lathe out of 6061, the urethane bushing that comes with the shocks will not hold the weight when converted to coil over. they are fine for using them as a stock style front shock.
I make them as needed, but if you need a set i can tool some up

Yes, i put a ton of street miles on 340Ricks challenger this past summer (i think i put more miles on his car than he did in the past 10 years  ) with my setup on it and the same coil overs with #250 springs the lighter spring seems to work well with me adding more per load to them for better reaction from the suspension. i can get you awesome deals on AFco products  Bondo

The part you see welded is the adjuster that is no longer used once the torsion bar is eliminated. The weld just keeps what's left of the adjuster from moving around. I have whacked them off as close as possible then welded just for cosmetic purposes. Has nothing to do with the movement of the LCA.
Mike Gray
I think the confusion lies with the bolt and big washer that connects the LCA to the pivot pin. Once the adjuster is welded to the LCA and the pivot is bolted to both the LCA and the K-member it doesn't look like it should move.
It looks like Duster Dave used a nylon or teflon washer to allow the LCA to rotate up and down a little easier. It looks like that would free up some of the movement.
