not really, i need to know the collapsed length, because im looking at getting rear shocks, but they dont have specific applications, they just say expanded and compressed length, so i need something to compare to, I think INC is helping me out though.

I'll have those #s for you later. For those shocks we were discussing earlier I took their part # and searched it on Summit Racing's site and they have compressed, extended and stroke measurements. Helped me a bunch.

I found the same specs on all Js website for the OME 132L. so that means if anyone is interested in these edelbrock shocks on sale right now for the rear of your frankenlift, you need the 63906 extreme IAS. it has the soft valving for the lighter weight vehicles. and the specs are within an inch of the OMEs both directions. Im ordering a set tomorrow.

they dont give any specific numbers, but considering the medium valving is for alot of full size trucks and diesels i think the soft valves should be about right for the KJs weight

Bilstein 5125 part number BE5-A462-H5 should fit for the lifted rear application and have the right valving.

This is a 9.25" travel shock with 255/70 valving. The measurements are extended 24.35" and compressed 15.11". About a .5" difference from the OME L shock.

I haven't tried them yet but I may when I lift it.
