What rear shocks did you guys use after you minitubbed your A body? I put the originals back on after minitubbing my 72Dart, and they bottom out after about 2 inches of down travel which I knew they would when I installed them.Went to Oreillys,but they were no help at all.
What rear shocks for mnitubbed Dart?

I've been driving mine around for the last two weeks with same Monroe Gas-matic shocks that I was using before the mini-tub and haven't noticed any bottoming yet. Mine is a 67 so that might make a difference.
I would find your stock shock and look up it's specs here...

then, look for a shorter shock with the same ends as your stock one.

Thats exactly what I was doing while I was waiting on a reply!! Looking at the Monroe site,and they have lots of good info. I did relocate the spring under the frame rails, I forgot to mention that important fact. Did you relocate your springs? Monroe # 31000 looks like the ones and Oreillys actually had a set of them in stock locally.
