Recently I bought some parts for my Comanche including shocks with bar pin eliminator (bottom bolts on) and the top had a stud eliminator. It was for a massively lifted rig so the shocks wouldn't work for me. I found a decent pair at the swapmeet last summer which were already stud tops. I used the bar pin eliminator but still have the stud eliminators on my for sale pile. Sort of simple, yet still beefy.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

So those for the Chevy II/ Nova will fit on a stock height Eagle correct? Might look into lifting the front a tad eventually but for now it's sitting @ stock height.

BINGO BOB!!!

To me, the ride is real soft and smooth. Enough travel for the suspension to work. Other shocks listed to fit an eagle are FAR to short. (parts consolidating to make warehouse more useful, tons of parts for so many different vehicles you know.)

I found them at Rock Auto I think. If they are working good for you, and work work great on a stock height Eagle, then I know what I'll be getting :)
