Shock Length

[Rannos]

I have lowered my truck roughly 7" now and need to get the right length shock. As my concern is more performance then ride, buying a typical shock for a truck lowered this much isn't an option. I was wondering if anyone knew about what length shock I should use. Extended and compressed. I do have the CPP shock relocation kit on the truck right now. I was looking at the No Limit kit but do not think it will clear my rear tires as I am running 29x14.5 r15 Hoosiers. Any help would be appreciated.

I can only tell you what my KYB shocks are that came with my stage 2 PB stuff. Compressed length is 11.25" and extended is 18" for a 6.75" stroke, which works great with PB shock re-locater's front and rear. I'm actually looking for an alternative shock right now where I can add the bump stop to the shock itself, but finding other shocks in this range are proving to be difficult.

With that said, the best way is to go measure your trucks ride height and make sure you get proper stoke shocks for your setup.

Kugel Conponents sells a tool to measure the shock length.

You might also be able to do the measurements with a piece of metal with regularly stamped holes. I think it's called unistrut, for mounting heavy items to walls & ceiling joists.
