Do you sell the mounting kits minus the shocks ??

I once saw a car at a meet that had shocks mounted to the spring perch bolts. The bolts were not long enough to insert the cotter in the castle nut so he turned the castle nut upside down.

Gives me nightmares thinking about what could have happened.

Why would these not be listed so those of us looking for them could find them??
