Hello Jason,
Rimmer Bros has brackets you can buy to move the shock mounts on bodies tha=
t have rotted out wheel arc mounts - bolts to the frame where the upper sho=
ck bolts to it on roto cars - you could then use your current shocks - othe=
rwise, standard Spit/GT shocks should work - they did the longer ones to cl=
ear the roto joints - best bet is to try and keep the shocks as upright as =
possible, provides better shock movement (up/down) and more direct response=
by the shock itself
CheersRalph
