Mounted the shocks that way for clearance, guess I could flip them. Didn't give it much thought.

Which shock mount can be reworked?

Springs came off the front of a Lincoln Navigator. Bottom retainers worked just fine, had to fab the tops. They're 14" long, which is what I thought a C20 spring was, and for a 3/4 ton vehicle.
