L400 Shock Measurements
Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2015 1:18 pm
After days of searching and finding lots of information, I've decided I want to replace my shocks. I'm going with Bilsteins, but how do I know which of the 400 000 options is the right one? I know I need stem/eye in the front and eye/stem in the rear, as my rear shocks are ECS. However, I do NOT know what the measurements of my extended and compressed shocks are, which seems to be the best way to know whether you're looking at the right ones or not.
I found this:
Have I missed this on some previous thread? If so, I apologize for adding yet ANOTHER shock thread to pop up when you search.

I found this:
...from Jesse, but there was no further post with measurements for the fronts. I also know that Jesse has lifted his Delica (and probably lowered it and re-lifted it and so on...) Are these accurate numbers for STOCK, NON-LIFTED rear shocks? Does anyone have these numbers for the fronts?jessef wrote:
