Shock size help
Shock size help
Can someone help me with the shock length? I need the aprox size (I'd love a link on summit racing) of the shock I need for about 4" lift over stock...
I have a short AAL, shackle, and soon to be 3" block. I just need the right shock to go with it. I figured it was pretty common.
BTW I'm intersted in es9000's, but any reccomendations? I'm just looking for a lower cost shock.

All i want is an approximate from someone who knows. Something like saying a 99+chevy 4x4 stock shock is the right height..I don't know if it is or not, but an example.

I have a set of rear Bilstein 5100's here that came from an RCD lift kit. They measure about 29 1/2" eye to eye extended. IIRC, these are about 2" longer than stock compressed and about 3 1/2" longer extended.

I'm going to go with 31 extended I believe, maybe 32. Anything else I should know?
I'll take a pic of the coilovers after paramedic tonight.
they arent real coilovers I assume, I know a few people on here have shocks that have helper coils, but are really a leafspring truck.
If they were real coilvoers you wouldnt have to ask for shock reccomendation...
