   Well, I have to say it, All those answers are in the tech guide. One of 
the articles were written by me.
   Now, For the shocking truth! Dodge D150 or D100, 72-88, front shocks. 
   The coil springs I use are from the non air-conditioned Mustang and are 
from the mid to late 70's and I cut one coil and reshape the end.
   There I think I have it all in one email.
