Has anyone tried running a coil-over rear shock to help the stock spring pack. I know the right thing to do is replace the springs but that is just not in the budget at the moment. I am looking at the Monroe 58628 Load Adjusting Shock Absorber. The specs look like it should work with the exception of it has a 12MM lower bushing and needs a 1/2IN. That should be no big issue reaming it out to 1/2. Also the larger outside diameter of the shock might have clearance issues?
Any thoughts??
