    I have a question

    George Washington was 6'2", Abe Lincoln was 6'4", both towered over a diminutive 5'10" Henry Ford!

    Tubular shocks

    I was taught that those are called helper shocks. When your springs get weak it is easier and cheaper to install helper shocks instead of replacing the springs. What we called shocks had one purpose: absorbing shocks.
