Correct shocks length

arredondo

I'm lost on the correct length a front shock should be. Is there some calculation that I have missed?

Measure from top to bottom mount with the cart setting on level ground. Then jack it up from the frame so the suspension droops.This is your Extended Length.Then set it down,and if possible,load the suspension,even a jack can be used to compress the suspension.This is your Compressed Length.Then when you look up a shock,look for something comparable to your min and max.If you offroad it,you will want more travel than a stock shock,so add that in to max and min dimensions as well.Hope this helps.

That's what I use once I get dimensions.
