set up bump stops t stop your springs inverting too much, then measure distances between your shock mounts on the compressed side and uncompressed side, that will give you your open and closed lengths

oh i see, buyin them there would be great, but every spring over on an MQ is different, it will all come down to your shock mounts, if they are factory or not? will also come down to shackle lenghts, and springs wether they are new, lifted, sagged, so it will be hard for any one to give you lengths,
