Ok just a couple of questions, the donor car was a mercury Monarch and we used the 8 inch out of it. we got the bottom spring plate as well we are planning on using them. On this car the brackets put one shock in the rear and one shock in the front.
I dont mind doing this but is it necassary or could you run them both on one side that would keep us from making two diffrent upper shock bars running across the frame.

Also we dont have the body on the frame and we have donor wheels and tires on the car. Will this affect ride heighth? I feel that it will. but will it get us close?

One last thing with the bricks either in front or the rear of the tire, do you hold the string in the center of the brick or ?, that part I just didnt understand where to hold the string. The rest of it makes perfect since and I appreciate all the help.

Thanks in advance
