Rear suspension on 84 Gas DS

[srg8836]

I removed the original leaf springs which were two springs and installed the new high capacity four leaf spring set. Yes I needed 1/2 longer U bolts but I am wondering about the rear shock lengths. It appears now that the original shocks are to short because of the additional two leafs in each spring. I was thinking about using a short shock extender unless anyone knows how to purchase a shock that is about 1.5" longer?

Thanks

Hi with the heavy duty springs you do not need the shocks anymore. Take them off and you are good to go.
