    So I've been looking around, and nobody seems to make a set of adjustable drag racing shocks for the rear of a maverick, only the fronts. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a set.

    At this time there are no "Bolt On" adjustable drag shocks for the rear, There is some that can be made to work. Use the "Search" at the top of the screen.

    ive seen an adapter that bolts to the top mounts that allows you to use mustang shocks. it was just some angle iron with a hole that bolts to the stock bracket and another hole that the stud on the mustang shock goes through.
    i was planing on changing my leaf spring perches to take a bolt style (like the top of the mav shock) shock. you can find alot of shocks with eye holes on both ends that will fit. I was going to get caltracs with that style shock mount on them.

    Contact Alex Denysenko at MoneyMaker Racing; www.moneymakerracing.com

    They offer a version of the Rancho 9000 Series adjustable shock with the right adapter brackets for Maverick/Comet. These are very popular with the Stock Eliminator crowd in NHRA and IHRA. An affordable alternative to QA1, Afco etc.

    He is also a distributor for CalTracs bars, leaf springs and front shocks.
