I am changing from a 7 1/4 to 8 1/4. I know I'll need a larger U-bolt diameter, but will I need to use differant shock plates?

Any car with the 3 inch axle tubes, except, the ones with the iso mount (rubber bushings, on the spring mount).

You can get brand new plates from Mancini Racing (www.manciniracing.com) for $90 for both sides together. All of the places I'm listing also have the U-bolts.

Also you can try Springs and Things: www.espo.com

And failing that there's always Just Suspension: www.justsuspension.com
