Re: 56 Senior front shocks?

I thought the 9 degree long bars were made primarily for export. Friend Chris has A/C installed and both front links are the four-ring versions. He said the Patrician he took the A/C from, rode about one to one and a half inches higher all around. His Caribbean looks OK to me.
Rear shocks should have very close to ten inches of travel as that is how far the rear end will move up and down. If you can manually change the riding height, then before you install them, test the fit of the shock at low and high points to make sure that coming down or going up it won't cause damage at either mounting point.
