Dont take long to fit and add an extra inch or so to the shocker length. I fitted them as a matter of course when i lift mine


I've already got them on mine (rhinorays version with the bush in) without the extensions the shock absorbers are not long enough to get the bolts in either end.

This is an interesting thread and something I have been pondering as Im fitting Trail Master 3" springs and AVO adjustable shocks. To me the supplied front shocks seem very short though I havent fitted them yet.
The rears are 540mm from centre of eyes. The fronts are 450mm from eye centre to mounting seat hight. Does this sound about right?

Mesure the standard shock as it sits on the car with wheels on the ground with standred spring then add 3" that may be the lenth your after

The last thing you want is shocks that are to long because thay will bottom out on compresion over bumps and make the ride uncomfertable

Well.....not realy? you can have shocks with the same overall length but different travel length. it would be good to know a desirable fully extended length and fully compressed length.
