I believe the diplomat (and cars of the same body style) shocks Are the longest but I just buy and use the "long Chrysler shocks" lol so don't quote me

Grab some off of the back of a dippy. Not 100% but I think they are the longest.

mopar shocks are the best no mater the car they come from (full size) only take one pass of weld and your good to go for most stock style derbys or take an hour and make them hold any loaded bumper  |

If the shocks can only be extended back to 3 inches in front of the A-arm, is it worth going through the trouble of putting them on? Wouldnt it just bend in the three inch gap between where the shock ends and the a-arm begins? I was thinking of just hardnosing my bumper on and saving the shocks for a different show. Any help is appreciated.
