Re: Restoring Rusty - Rear Shocks

so we decided to work backwards and do the rear ones first, the rear shocks are longer here are some numbers for you all

we did not have to raise the truck on jack stands or nothin, we did it with it just parked in the garage

eye hole to eye hole with the truck sitting normal on the ground the distance was 17 1/4 inches

once removed the old rear shocks compressed were 13 3/4 inches and 23 inches fully extended

the new rear shocks were 12 inches compressed and 18 1/4 fully extended

Please Note all new shocks came with a new top bolt
