Measuring the overall travel requirements based on suspension extension/compression & calculating the proper shock length for that given distance then researching shock p/n's from that information (that's how I do my stuff).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Fox shocks 2.0 with resivoir

The Fox 2.0 shock's most redeeming value is the ability to change the rebound and compression damping for the suspension set up and shock placement. The external reservoir is overkill, sure, but it adds a certain look that is much more appealing than looking at normal shocks that most guys use such as Doetsch, Monroe, etc. As has been already brought to light, the Fox 2.0 starts at a 6-inch stroke and goes up from there so any argument about having a long-travel off road shock is simply frivolous. I have used them on many builds both lifted, lowered, and airbagged with great results. Set up can take a bit of effort to get the ride how you want it if you are not accustomed to the nomenclature of shock settings but is no major voodoo. I say get some and be happy.
