Also, what link should I use? Dog bone or original? I go to shows, but don't really show for points. The truck rides tight in the rear, so do I have to put shocks all around? I don't know how much good they would do in the back.
Brian, I too have a 29 Huckster. When I first finished it, I did not have shocks on it. Due to the fact that my body is rather heavy, I had to slow down going around corners. So I did put shocks on it and it now rides much better. I would put them all around. I purchase new aftermarket shocks from M & S hydraulics (503-642-1122) here in the Portland, OR area. But I think you get what you pay for.
