Well, it takes a bit of research and a real parts guy, but I'd betcha you could come up with the right shock with the correct valving with some searching.... Guess I'm just spoiled cuz I've used the same parts guy for supension pieces I need for about 10 years now, he really knows parts and comes through for me about 99% of the time!!! Sure would hate to lose him, would take years to train his replacement!!!! Most of these parts stores are so hung up on the "computer sez" bs, they're virtually clueless when it comes to doing some research!!!!
