That may be all true but to be on the safe side if you take off on of your front tires and shocks after the adjustments have been made then measure the full travel from point to point compressed and extended. Add about a 1/2" to those measurements and go to your local off-road store and they will match up a set of shocks to your measurements.

You won't have any extra compression or droop compared to stock, so stock length shocks should be fine, assuming they don't limit | travel. Some times, stock shocks are a bit short, so a simple spacer can be inserted if needed: |
