Thanks for the replies. It always helps having a second and third opinion. I am still working on the first rear shock. It was a PIA to remove the old spring and there was a 1" round x 1/2" thick spacer welded to the bottom of the old shock mount. To get over this I decided it was best to leave it in place and so I drilled and routed out a space on the back side of my new aluminum spacer to fit over it. I had to run to the hardware store and get shorter bolts. The 4" bolts that came with my shock kit are too long and bottom out before getting tight. 3 1/2" would be plenty long for the top and bottom. I will update my progress as soon as I get back to it. Might not be today. Stay tuned...
John
