To determine which shock absorbers you need for your lift kit, you will need to measure the length of your existing shock absorbers. This can typically be done using a tape measure or a ruler.

To measure the length of your existing shock absorbers, follow these steps:

  1. Park your vehicle on a flat, level surface and apply the parking brake.
  2. Measure the distance from the center of the mounting bolt at the top of the shock absorber to the center of the mounting bolt at the bottom of the shock absorber. This will give you the extended length of the shock absorber.
  3. Measure the distance from the center of the mounting bolt at the top of the shock absorber to the center of the mounting bolt at the bottom of the shock absorber when the suspension is fully compressed. This will give you the compressed length of the shock absorber.
  4. Use the extended and compressed lengths of the shock absorber to determine the correct size and type of shock absorber for your lift kit. Most lift kits will come with specific instructions on which shock absorbers to use, so be sure to consult these instructions before purchasing new shock absorbers.

Once you have measured the length of your existing shock absorbers, you can use this information to determine the correct size and type of shock absorbers for your lift kit. This will ensure that your lift kit is installed properly and that your vehicle maintains its handling and stability characteristics.
