My ole rear shocks are toast. Rather than pay the dealer 150.00+tax for 2 shocks (shocks only) any opinions for using a same lenght, eye to eye, and mount width on the rear of an act machine?

 

I think High lifter has some progressive shocks that you can get longer than stock. I haven't tried them but I hear there alright. ????

 

For example, i think the rears on my machine are about 16" eye to eye. Could a fella slap something like this on?

Im sure you can look em up at the browns site and get em cheaper than factory!!!

 

75 each, just for the shock. Thats why i was wonderng if i could score something the same measurements of better quality. The browns site is the AC microfiche and my dealer charges those exact prices.

 

OH I SEE!!!!! Sorry i missed your IM i was away

 

I agree with you Vewdew, the price on those shocks is way too high. They are $75 each here too. The same quality auto shock would be about $30. I need 2 shocks(both leaking oil). Was thinking of bringing one to an auto supply store to get a close matchup. It would be nice to get a good gas charged shock of higher quality. If you find another supplier let us know.

 

Ya im going to do the same thing. But i wonder the fact that the factory shocks have the eye holes attatched to each end, if you buy a shock from canadian tired lets say, i dont think this would be the case. Any input on that?

 

i think rear shocks from an older car say 60s to 70s would have eyes on both ends.
