check out the hot rod shops like heidts, maybe aldan has what you need. Carrera used to make smooth body chrome shocks also but QA1 bought them so maybe it's discontinued. Is you get shocks where you can remove the shock eye from the rod you can use them on the front (if they're the proper length) but using the stock front mounting bushings. Aldan isn't cheap but most are rebound adjustable. Why do you want full adjustability? It's kind of useless for most, rebound adjustability will allow you to set the shocks up to work w/ the spring stiffness you have
