Which rear shocks with SS springs?

I have a 74 Duster that has SS springs and I added 3" lowering blocks to get the rear end back down to somewhat normal. I was able to install the 3 way adjustable shocks on the car but the stroke of the shock seems to be too short. Is there a longer shock to install when adding SS springs and lowering bloks? What brand would you use? Thanks Gary

Long drag shocks from Mancini racing

Maybe something here that will help. Click on SS Springs. carpetperfect.com

I simply use shocks for an Imperial. They are longer than my stock "B" body shocks. The old Direct Connection chassis manual recomends them.

What is your intended use for this car?

By adding the 3" lowering block, youve (IMO) added a "lever" between your rear end and your springs. Think about lift blocks on a 4X4 truck. The blocks increase the rear ends leverage to "wrap up" the springs, increasing the possibility of wheel hop.

I realize you did this to lower the car back to a reasonable height. Just wanted to be sure you were aware that there is a downside to blocks. If youre not doing alot of drag racing, you may not have any issues.

To answer your question, I used 77 D100 shocks on my 65 Coronet
