I swapped out my rear leaf springs in my '74 Duster for a set of over arhced HD springs. I want to say they are around 2-1/2" to 3" taller than my old ones. Now my rear shocks are within an 1" of being fully extended. I was wondering if any one could point me to a longer set of shocks that will work with the stock mounting locations?

Hmmm... Those look like they also fit a '70 E-Body... I wasn't aware of that... I am going to see if I can test fit one of the old ones from my brothers '70 E-body. Thanks!

And you probably can get Rancho 9000 adjustibles.

Found the Rancho 9000 adjustables on Summitracing.com.

I am going to measure again and make sure they are what I am looking for and will probably order a set up.

Thanks for the help!
