trying to get a 50/50 shock for the rear, i know what brands are out there but i couldn't find anything listed for our trucks, what are you guys that race running for rear shocks, also front for the heck of it. Thanks, Devin.

fast _ dev I would call Summit technical support and ask them about the 50/50 shocks. They have many applications that are not listed because of space limitations. Even if they dont have a drag shock listed for a truck application, just give them the length you need, vehicle weight and they should be able to line you up with shocks that will work. Shocks dont know if they are on a car or truck. Their job is to control spring oscillations and depending on their rate, do it at a faster or slower pace. I'm thinking along the lines of a '64-'67 Chevelle application. If the length is right . Hope this helps and Good Luck!!

We run and sell HAL coil over rear shocks with 130 pound springs for swb and 140 pound spring for lwb for drag racing, they have a fully adjustable pre load on each shock to get your 60 ft times dialed in. go to www.dragtruk.com and check it out, the blue 68 with the wheels in the air is awsome. I went from 1.9 to 1.4 60 ft on my truck since getting rid of the 50/50 shocks.

do these mount in the stock location? and do you still use the stock coils? Price? Thanks for any help, Devin

They mount in the stock or a modified location, we run the coils with them but they are not needed. e-mail or call for price.
