Head gasket finally went..

Hello to all..
Well, the head gasket went about 2 weeks ago on my 1986 Lebaron just as I was entering the interstate in 103 degree weather (lucky me) and just as it hit 100,000 miles.
I pulled over immediately and popped the hood and there was a stream of coolant arking from the pass. side of engine. I just had got it back from shop after having the incoming and outgoing heater hoses replaced.
Anyways...long story short...its fixed. Runs better than it ever has.."shocker"... and it only cost $615.
I am now looking at replacing the rear shocks or possibly the springs on rear or both, as the back end of car seems to sag compared to the 1988 Dodge.
Hope everyone is doing well!
