These will work on multileaf rear ends!!
Converted my 1971 Nova with monoleaf to multileaf rear springs and these fit the bill. No excessive wheel hop and balanced out my rear end with no issues.

Kyb shocks.
They seem ok but I said that about the last set that are now leaking. With maybe 3000 miles on them.

Meh
Way too soft of a shock, even for a light weight 4 banger S10 truck I had them on. We're very floaty feeling. Worth the money if that's what you're after tho.

awesome shocks, many say they are too soft
awesome shocks, many say they are too soft, i find them pretty firm. put them in a '72 el camino thats been dropped 1 1/2" not a race/track quality ride but for cruising around town they are the bomb, especially for $20
