Re: 63-72 Chevy P/U Rear Shock Mount System

Stealthy yes, the upper mount uses one existing hole per side (a large 5/8" hole) tp locate the mount, then you must drill two 3/8" holes per side.

68custom We have run these style mounts with coil-overs in the past, with great results. With the shock/spring located behind the axle, a soft spring is needed, around 200 lb/in. We have used a 5" stroke shock (17" open, 12" closed) with a 12" spring.

Panhard a question was asked about the compatability with stock, and other panhard rods. There is no clearance issues here, The upper mount in this system is a bit farther back on the rail (just behind the stock panhard mount) so there are no clearance problems with the stock panhard mount, or any aftermarket mounts.
