Re: 1955 Packard shocks for car with TL

Designer of the T/L System, Bob Allison, make specific recommendations in later years that heavy duty type and coil-over shocks should NOT be used on T/L cars.

Just buy regular gas-filled shocks which are easily available at most any auto parts store, or from Kanters if you wish. We've been thru this before and I'm sure you'll find #s in the X-ref and other threads on shocks for the 55/56 cars. Lacking that, all you need to know is the minimum compressed length, maximum extended length, and type of attachments for any good counterman to find appropriate shocks.
