Re: Drop Shocks? How to tell

For a 2" drop a stock length shock works just fine. To figure the installed height of a shock take the extended length and the full compressed length split the difference about 60 40 with 60 being for compression. Most over looked aspect of shocks is valving. Getting a set that is valved for the application gives the best ride and will last better than a poorly valved shock.
