Quad shock ?
This may seem rather dumb but,
My 89 Bronco has quad shocks on the
When buying shocks for it most companies list
(A)##### (B)##### positions.
Which is which, is the A shock the front
B rear?
Is one shock longer than the other?
and if so which is which?

I didn't put them both on. When I got them I bought them for a 2.5 lift but when I put the spacer in it (A) didn't make as much differance as it did in my BII (B) one shock seamed to be way too long.

Quads
I have looked at the listing in the LMC catalog for shocks because I have some questions also.
It appears that Quad shocks are part of a "HD" designation, and makes it appear that the spring rates between the Quad and Single shock vehicles is different.
Since I dont go flying over rock piles or dunes, I would like a little less spring rate in the front, but have no figures to play with. Years ago, I went through one of those "contests" with a factory rep over the van front springs. I was able to overcome the factory argument of "Equal to or better" quality OEM parts.
Somewhere (if it still exists) there is a small book that gives all kind of truck specs, including spring ratings with spring codes. Wonder If ND has seen or knows about the ratings---
