Just read this thread, some nice builds here. I have a question for you guys, I recently acquired a '71 SL70 and I am curious on aftermarket rear shocks. I'm looking to upgrade mine to support a bit more weight than stock. I can find stock ones and dozens of cheap ones that are the correct length but would prefer not to order twice if it can be avoided. If anyone has any thoughts on what might work or they used I'm open for input.

I have an older Lifan CT-70 clone. I bought inexpensive shocks from Trail Buddy and it transformed the rear suspension. To be clear, the stock shocks were nothing but weak springs so boards would have improved the suspension. The TB shocks were the grade 3 and the best they offered.
