      For custom length applications I'd ask you to do some measuring to make sure we don't bottom out the shock. If you have factory bump stops and are lowered with a spindle you should be ok. If you truly need a shorter shock, it'll take some work and we would have to be careful and measure twice/order once.

      thanks

      Hi Ramey

      I have a 66 Chevy II 2 door sedan LS1/t56 with a jim weimers mustang II front clip with coil over conversion lower arms. It has (I think) the QA1 economy non adjustable shocks with 500lb springs which I have never been happy with. My questions are: What do viking have for me in double adjustable? Is the A202 suitable? (I will confirm lower bolt diameter tomorrow) I need the bushed lower in the shock as heim joint lower is not road legal in Australia. I was hoping to re use the springs I already have, will they fit viking shocks OK? Shipping weight of 2 shocks only please?

      Thanks, Neale
