Shockabsorber lengths

Post by steel »

Has anyone ever posted up a list of shocks with their fully compressed & fully extended lengths? Would be handy for modifiers.

Better idea
How about a list of GAPS in vehicles. Fully compressed GAP in a cruiser, Fully extended w/ standard / OME / Kings / etc springs.
Fully extended with / without swaybar?
I see plenty of long shocks, and just know they are the bumpstop, or non captive springs.

No, i think a list of shocks with their measurements is a better idea. No one needs a measurement of what might or might not be the " GAP " in their fully compressed or extended suspension [ too many variables ] & they're measurements you have to make any way before you start to modify your suspenion. Better to have a list of the products available & their dimensions.
