I checked my 65 dodge and the relaxed height of the shock is 14-1/4" eye hole to eyehole center, spring is at almost 3/4" of the way down on the adjustment. what shock would i need?

It might be on my invoice from the chassis shop what i use. Probably will be close to what you are doing. I can look on monday. I used alston doubles on mine.

The spring weight will depend on what the rear of the car weighs but 130 should be in the ball park, set the lower adjuster at 1" up from the bottom, the shock should drop down to the working height (about mid height of the travel), if its too high you need a lighter spring. If it drops lower than the working height you can dial up the adjuster about 1" or so. I like long shocks,being longer you wont run out of travel length but if they are short and bottom out you will have big problems. You can adjust the height of the car if you have adjustable shock mounts on the rearend

it looks like my 65 dodge has S5006 strange double adustable shocks. i want to duplicate the same suspension for my 65 plymouth for this year. i got the Chassis engineering outlaw triple adjustable setup and need to get the right shocks. thanks Raff, i got adjustable rear lower shock mounts as well. i think these hyper coils should be color coded for spring pressure. you have no way of telling what you have.

Hypercoils have their rate engraved on one of the ends
is it visible when the springs are installed?

Call Strange and talk to them when you order them, tey come with instructions on how to set the ride hieght and they will help you select the correct spring. I have three sets of springs, brands unknown to me , they all have a thin metal tag wrapped around a coil with the rate embossed on it
cab, i called strange, they are impossible to deal with. arrogant .thats why i want the correct information and buy them through a strange dealer. i had problems with their S60 dana rear, impossible to buy from them. made a call to moser and got exactly what i wanted and needed.

Sorry to hear that, I have called them twice on the springs and had good contact on both occasions
