I installed the quad shock without much luck. I tried changing the leverage
point
and still had tramp but not as bad. I went to the traction bars for a 65 Mustang

(Weld on) and the problem was cured. But I am running race tires and 300+ hp.
You might have better luck with the quad shocks. Some one makes a weld on kit
with the shocks but I don't remember who I got them from. (Dale A?)
