I have a 52 F-1 with stock rear springs and an Explorer axle mounted on top of the springs. The stock shocks are too long now. Anybody have a suggestion or part number on different shocks that would work and match the stock springs?

 

Your going to have to get out your tape measure and then find the closest shock in this Monroe catalog:

And if you have a specific shock brand that you like, any parts store can interchange a Monroe part number.

 

I got mine from NAPA , they show in their online cataloge .
