| Post subject: | Spring relocation/rear end ? for 66 barracuda |
I am in the middle of doing the relocation for my 66 barracuda and was wondering if anything has to be done with the shocks? Â Also does the driveshaft have to be shortened to be swapped from the 7 1/4 - 8 3/4" rear end? |

I don't believe you need to do anything with the shocks, but the driveshaft will have to be shortened. I had to have mine shortened when swapped from 7 1/4 to 8 3/4 in my 64 Barracuda. |

The shocks will be OK at normal ride height. If you get the car real low the shocks could bottom-out in their travel. As for the driveshaft, yes, it will have to be shortened by appx. 2 inches. Get the new rear end installed then measure. Be sure you have the rear springs / rearend at normal ride height (not hanging) when you take the measurment. DD |
