Default Re: 1940 Rear Tube Shocks:

I got the kit for a lowered 2-3" rear.

The part # for a stock height rear is BD-18000-K.

It required some grinding on the rear crossmember, for shock clearance.

Also, you need to drill out the rearmost crossmember rivets, and drill two additional holes in the frame, for the sway bar bushing mounts.

No welding needed, all bolt-in. But do use grade 8, instead, wherever possible...

It's a stout, 7/8" sway bar, and I am very impressed with its performance.

As you can see, in the photo, my big ol' 8.20/15" bias-plys rubbed on the inside, during cornering, before.

Now it's flat as a pancake, and rides really nice, too.
