I would if it was just a regular old shocker, but as a wagon I want to run even or slightly higher than the front.

We did one 75 Monaco in the early 2000's and one on a gran fury wagon in 07 i believe. Way before saving pics but, Unless you Can add body bolts at least 2 more in back on each side then i wouldn't run it lower. Run it how your comfortable that's the main thing

Run it how your comfortable that's the main thing Two on each side? or 1 on each side? where do you recomend. The rules that i run allow changing body mounts with 3/4 bolts. Mopars are unibody, i might be able to get away with a few extra in the rear, fords and gm's have upwards of 14 mounts, mopars have only 8 up front. I may be able to convince them to let me run a couple extra in the back. "MAYBE"

"MAYBE" If any gm have body mounts added in the package tray like almost always I don't see why you couldn't run two extra since they aren't factory on all gm. Only in caddys.

Can you chain the humps? What are the cage rules? That car has the potential to be a good car with some work. Bone stock I'm not sure. I know I'd like to have it though, I need it for a parts car LOL

How are you guys relocating the leafs to being under the frame? I can do it with weld, however these will count as 2 of my 6 plates per frame rail, and I'm planning on using one over the humps, and the rest all up front. I could relocate the rear hanger to a nearby hole close to where it already is, but the front is what's confusing me, could has anyone moved just the rear of the leafs, flat stacked, with chained, wired, and plated humps? Were allowed unlimited #9 wire, and I've ordered 200lbs of it. Tomorrow or Saturday I'll snap some pictures of what I'm considering doing, by connecting the humps to the roof at various angles to preload the humps and keep them from getting weird, as well as keeping the frame from pulling away.

That is dumb. I know this isn't your car but worst case if you can't chain the rear down then put a short shock in it.
