Lightninn Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 The best method is to install the new arms with no shocks. Support the front end on a floor jack. Adjust the floor jack until your happy with where it sits. Measure the center line distance from the upper to lower shock mount holes. Remember to allow for shock sag when installed! You'll have to consult with Marvin for the sag. Add that amount to the shock length. Quote

I read his post wrong back when I posted orignally Quote

Thank you.....I was reading this thread waiting till someone posted this... sag is gonna vary based on weight and angle/load of the shock... Quote
shanYE west Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Sometimes measuring is a option thats not available. My chassis wasn't done yet and I needed to get my shocks ordered because yarnell was 3 months back ordered.. Yes.. measuring is the best way to know what your getting... but somtimes you need to wing it and get the most information you can to make the best decision possible. Quote
