rear shocks

[jeff caudill]

I cant find rear shocks for a station wagon.I have a 62 dart that I bought new leafs for with a 2 inch lift,I read somewhere on here to buy station wagon shocks cause they're 2 inches longer,I went to summit and they could not find them.I got kyb's for the front. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jack up the rear of the car and put jack stands under the frame so that the rear end hangs free. Measure the distance from the top shock mount to the bottom and add 2" to that. Take your stock shocks and measure them at full extension. They may still work for your new setup....

Stock shocks are 23" extended, station wagon shocks are 25".
