Re: 62 Stock front shocks
I found a thread that lists a couple but doesn't have the measurement. But you can probably extrapolate the info.

Re: 62 Stock front shocks
Take a measurement at ride height add at least 3" then -3" unless you're going long travel then Jack it up for full droop. If anyone has messed with torsion bars that just adds to fun
