I took 2 sets of springs and cut them to superstock lengths, clamped the front sections and they work a treat. Had them re-tempered as well.

thanks guys,your right blue I fitted the air shocks to get clearance, but hopefully I can get away (no pun intended :lol: ) without them. I`ll try the re-tempering route, where do you get the clamps from?? would the drag shocks work ok on the street? ie.wife 2 kids ,bootfull of camping gear etc,etc,etc.

Normally make my own clamps, Mopar performance used to sell them, don't know if they still do. The rear shocks will work fine on the street, they will act like any other shock, main thing about them is they are longer to prevent you from topping them out at the track, a common cause for losing traction. My other traction tip is relocating the battery to the boot, I like to use a large truck battery, not only do they gives loads of cranking amps but they are heavy too, right where you need it.
