it depends on which shock you get

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)

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

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 :dunno:
