Front or Rear Shock Lengths

[AUME1996]

Anyone happen to know the collapsed and extended lengths of the front and/or rear OEM shocks?

Im not sire about the actual shock lengths but stock shocks have 10” and 11.5” travel for front and rear, respectively.

That is wheel travel.
Not shock travel.

One has almost nothing to do with the other…

While I know that the "travel" will only provide the delta between full compression and extension, not the actual length of the shocks, I put those up as a FYI.

BTW, shock travel length is directly correlated to wheel travel length via Motion Ratio. In Toyota IFS, it was roughly 1:2. I'm pretty sure it'll be similar for the Ford IFS.

That’s referred to as shock “stroke”.
And yes motion ratio is the ratio between shock stroke and wheel travel.
But can be all over the place depending on different vehicles linkage.

You are best to just measure the eye-to-eye and stroke.

An aftermarket shock maker is also going to want some info about the vehicle such as mounting hardware, suspension linkage type, vehicle weight, type of use, etc.
