reverse that thought.

Yeah, shorter shaft in a longer body, keeps the piston in the oil. Plus, you won't be banging the piston against the shock cap...

What shock springs to use for those small shocks??? Will any touring car spring work for the .56 shocks ???

any touring shock that will fit associated bodies. i don't know off hand if some are narrower than others. i would assume they are universal for the most part.

Cool...Thanx for the info scr8p and Adam...
