Quote: I hate the front shock selection for the 73 and up car, the shocks are so short.
Shock trick for these - gusset the bottom of the control arm to box it in. Then hole saw the top of the control arm so it has a large enough hole to pass a shock body through it. Then buy 1st gen Camaro shocks. The lower bar mount of teh Camaro shock can be bolted to the added gusset, the upper bayonet mount fits right into the stock mopar hole. Loads of choices in shocks that way.
The leaf trick I described above is outlined in the Mopar Chassis manual. It is an old trick at making stock length leaf springs provide the same support as a super stock set without going to the shorter length and higher rate that come with SS packs.
If you really want to get gonzo, you can do what the 4x4 guys do and have the second leaf run full length and provide a second wrap around the eyes.
