Just finished full suspension lift on an '89 4Runner. (SAS and 6" longer rear springs w/ custom shock placements) Curious about measuring for proper shock length. Any info would be great and I can finally this project.

Here are some ideas:

Basically, get the compressed and extended lengths and go from there.

thanks for the reply. First time on this site and probably wasn't specific enough. I have, but not installed, 10" front and 12" rear shocks on 4" springs w/ 1.5" shackles. I am guessing they will work. I flexed my truck out @ an old grocery store loading dock to get an idea. I am concerned the front shocks might limit my articulation.
