That's the one I saw on the internet. I saw one in person in 1998 but I
can't remember many specifics about it.

Nuts and screws? ISTR that the picture on the Revington site showed the
bolts passing through parts of the trailing arms where there are no holes. But
what can one tell from an internet picture?
Either way it is not an afternoon job with a couple of wrenches.

I don't know. I bought the set second hand and I don't know what shocks were
supplied. Maybe Al swapped shocks somewhere along the line.

See above. Yes, I'm pleased. The ride is very controlled and except when I
hit the stops it is not unpleasant. Installation was quick and easy. Just
unbolt the old and bolt in the new.
