Sweet! Looks good!

What kind of shocks are those? I just put a set of KYB gas adjust on the rear of my Fury and they worked so well that I bought a set for the front, that I haven't installed yet.

I needed something to take the mush out of the rear which is why I chose the KYBs. It rides firmer but, not stiff at all.

Would you recommend the Monroe-matic for my '66 Vert? I dont need the ride to be stiff when cruising with the top down

thats good at least they are not stiff, i was thinkin of putting these monroe's in the back but i might go with Gabriel high jackers in the back for height adjustibility with Mopar performance leaf springs.

So far i would say they are great shocks smooth over the kind of roads i live on, i have lots of friends with monroes and are happy with them. Many other great shocks out there like KYB, Gabriel and so on are great too.
