Air Ride Install - '69 Chevrolet SWB Stepside

[tcb-1]

I just got finished taking back my 33033 Monroes. They were approximately 1" too short on compression. the compressed length was 10.13" and the maximum extended height is 14.50". when I lifted the entire front suspension up to aired out height, the shock bottomed out.

sooooo, I found a 555002 Monroe RV shock that the compressed length is 8.63" and the extended height is 12.25". I should be able to use this one and still have room on the compressed end for future lowering (i.e. weld in lca cups or tubular lca's).

..... or that's at least what I'm thinking.

I found the compressed bag height. (2.8")

That's like having a 3" spacer between your cup and upper bag plate.
PLus with the 12.5" extended bag height,... will your shocks be long enough?
(I know the up direction isn't as important and the air'd out numbers)
