Measure the shaft, and you've got the travel length. Ideally, you really don't wantto bottom it out, but you don't want to over exend it either (these are reasons why I no longer have rear shocks)

umm... i heard that procomp don't come with 14"!!! it could be the possibility that i over flex the shocks...sounds odd when hitting bump stop.

I thought they rate their length by measuring the shocks eye to eye when extended???

I really don't think so, if you think about it, the shaft is approximately the same length as the cylinder, and if we're talking about a 12" shock, then that is a pretty short cylinder and shaft. I don't think I have ever seen a vehicle shock the length of a ruler
