Anybody put modern shocks on the rear axel? I know they sell kits to do that, but has anyone done it on their own. Also, which kits work good and what doesn't?

I have the shock kit made by Ken Davis on my pickup, front and rear.

I bought this kit for a 1930 coupe. I made new lower clamp on the axle lower mounts for the front to make it all bolt on kit, no front axle drilling and the front shock is now half way down to give full travel on the shock.From mikes,open in a new tab.https://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/A18014MOD.html.

I also have the Ken Davis shocks on all four wheels. I am very happy with them. Check his website. I'm pretty sure he will sell just the rears.
