These folks promptly refunded my money, for which I thank them. At this point, St. Joe clearly has interceded and told me to stick with what I know to work.

Happy News!

My rear leaf spring order from SpringsnThings is due Friday. Soooo, I need to consider which rear shock absorber to replace the coil-over Monroe Load levelers I installed to supplement the tired flat steel in my 55 yr old original leaf springs. Looking at the Rare Parts website revealed some big, beautiful U.S. made rear shocks with a SKU# 51273. Turns out they're claimed by a "Collector's Auto Supply" outfit.

Have any of you used rear shocks made by these folk? How do they ride? Are they worth the stiff tariff they put on them? They LOOK to be EXCELLENT shocks, but I like to know as much as possible about such hardware when it goes for $250 a pair. I seek y'alls' collective wisdom in this.

I did that when I was 17. I didn't care about ride comfort or handling.
