I finally had some time to measure. The rear shocks on my truck are 14.5" eye to eye at ride height with the ECE 6" drop and relocation brackets, I'm not sure if this P/N listed would be the best shocks to use as ride height is very close to the full extended length of the shock.


Extended Length (in):
15.500 in.

Collapsed Length (in):
10.000 in.

For my truck at least, the CPP shocks CPP-4095G would be a much better, more correct fit. These are the 2-4" rear drop shocks.

Extended Length (in):
18-1/2”

Collapsed Length (in):
11-3/4”


For reference my front shocks are 11" at ride height, so the 1-2" drop shocks will work well up front.
