Looking for drag shocks for my 63 Dodge 440..It had no shocks when I got it...Been looking at CE shocks but without knowing the proper length Im taking a chance on buying shocks that don't fit as they list them for Plymouth b bodies not Dodge..A tech said measure a stock shock both compressed and extended..I know its a stretch but does anyone know these measurements?? Id greatly appreciate the help..


1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..

A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..

If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

Rockauto lists shocks for your car and if you click the monroe ones it gives you the extended and compressed lengths.

The best stock shock for early B bodys like yours use to be the 1971 Imperial shocks according to the old Mopar drag race group guru at thier race seminars back in the 1970s


Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
