that said a 5 inch shock can come in different installed height lengths. so if yo u set your project up at ride height and measure from center to center of the mounts this is your installed height, now you can look for shocks. this is important because you can adjust a coil over lower etc, however you loose valuable shock length when in compression, so you really want to measure at ride height, then tune 1/4 inch here or there.
Never had it explained to me like this . THANK YOU!!!
