I'm used to b -body's shock crossmember with a thru-bolt. wondered how these a-body studs sticking out of the trunk handle the stress, anyway

I just bought a pair of these 71 dodge truck front shocks. They do have the L2 type ends and are 15.250 compressed 25.625 extended. Monroe number 37189. They are stock looking plain black shocks. 67 Charger 383 auto 75 Dodge CNT 800 CAT Diesel 2012 Ram Crew cab 5.7 4x4
