Just installed a 4" lift. Needed 29" extended length shocks for enough travel. Had 27yr old stock ones on before.

how did you figure out you needed 29" extended length shocks?

Measure tape and cause I ordered 24" shocks at first and they were too short and bottomed out lol

RUSHTOY2

so simply just remove your shocks, flex it and measure????

Vang530

that is one way, yes. Most shocks will tell you extended length and collapsed length and you can decide how much extra inches you wanna add in case of future mods.

you need to remove your shocks and all but the main spring and cycle your suspension to measure.
