Our 56 Ranch Wagon rear shocks have a coil over ("helper")  spring set-up (in addition to the leaf springs). All the aftermarket rear shocks I've seen are just the mono-tube design without the spring. I don't think these are OEM rear shocks, but I'm not sure. The bottom of the spring sits on a flange that appears to be part of the shock. Are there other aftermarket shocks available with the studs on both ends that include these springs or should I just replace them with a set of Gabriel's and be done with it?
Thanks,
Rono
