i thought the shocks might be a problem beacuase there apparently rear shocks, how do i measure the shock? just from eye to eye or the from one eye to the seal? cheers

Take the shock completely out (not hard all you need is a 17mm spanner to undo the 2 bolts on each shock).
compress it completely and measure it, then extend it and measure it.
Then measure the distance from shock mount on diff to shock mount on chassis.
Cheers
