Default Re: 69 Camaro custom shock height

Shocks generally have a specific travel range. One to three inches can make a big difference. For instance, a factory spec Monroe shock has a compressed length of 11.625&quot; and an extended length of 19.375&quot;. That wouldn't come close for me. KYB is 12.01 &amp; 20.28. Getting closer, but still not long enough. My at rest shock length is 19 3/4&quot;, so I'm thinking at least another 3&quot;-5&quot; is needed for extended length. So 22 3/4&quot; to 24 3/4&quot; extended length.
