Folks,
I have a question posted in "stuff that fits" regarding shocks: Please look and answer if you have information.
Regards, JLB

A few replies: Thanks!
I still need the extended length OEM length spec's. This affects ability to change tires/wheels when on car - without enough "drop" folks sometimes need to let air out of tires to get them off/on. I'm trying to avoid that situation - don't want to buy the "wrong" shocks.
Thaks again, JLB

I don't remember the specs but there are a set of front shocks for a Ford F150 that work. They operate in the same range but drop a couple inches further when jacked up. I bought a set years ago and they work pretty well. The numbers were posted in the Stuff that Fits area but I haven't found them again lately. Maybe Ted can chase them down.

Thanks, again,
According to Gabriel, the G63398 shocks have been discontinued.
I also tried several sources on "The Web" which all said either unavailable or discontinued.
Anything else?
Regards, JLB

I had the same problem with Gabriels on the rear of my 55 wagon , I spoke to Gabriel about it and they recommended a AMC shock off of about 1973 hornet , done recall the number , It mounts the same but is 2 in longer extended .. I checked them out at rock auto and it seemed to be the correct extended length hope this helps Fred
