    So i had these shocks i bought for a 65 mustang years ago and i was board and decided to install them. I think it will work fine and its an alternative for the rear shocks.

    Yes sir. The L bracket is fab'd. I made some i wasnt happy with ,so a buddy made those. Sorry, i should have been more specific. The shocks are actually for a 65 mustang. Noone makes any rear maverick drag shocks.

    I have the CE front shocks, 3 way adjustable, but like you say no one makes the rear so i went with a pretty much stock rear shock. Nice installation BTW.:)
