Yes, the hardware store variety will work for spring clamps . You can also use two pieces of flat stock and two bolts.
Shocks, not uncommon for them to top out when the rear lifts. This is why mopar recommended and produces long rear shocks for SS suspensions. You've duplicated the SS approach, so you need longer shocks. Mopar makes a specific long shock for this application, or you can add shock extensions, or you can substitute a 72-92 truck rear shock.
YOU ROCK!!!!
How did you know that would be my next question!
Glad you said that because I just got back from a ride and I like the xtra lift a lot.
The car no longer wallows in the rear and no longer bottoms on dips etc......it feels like it sits aggressively now.....corners and such feel fine so far....just normal road speeds. Just me in the car this time....my guess is adding passengers will be not much different now.
Over all the ride fine...firm in the rear. I can now go normal speeds over roads that once produced a lot of banging/wallowing in the rear....
On sudden drops it is a bit harsh and makes a bang sometimes....but not sure if thats the spare in my trunk (yet unsecured) and the crap back there moving abruptly or if its the shocks bottoming.
So the next step will be the longer shocks.....
Since I need new shocks anyways, replacing the shocks with longer ones seems to be the ticket.
I would gather that the SS shock is pricey.,...or is it?
What would the difference in the truck shock be from the SS?
