The new rear shocks are 660ext & 396 compressed, hence why I had to install rear bump stop extentions. On (normal) full flex/tuck, the rear shocks compress down to 385mm, this is with full body weight ect. So If I bolted the new longer shocks straight on, they would cirtainly bottom out, damaging the foot valve in the base of the shock rendering it useless. With the tests that I have performed already, i've managed to get the rear to compress down to 410mm. Its close, probably a tad too close so i'm going to add another 10mm to the existing bump stops.
You ask me about the OME struts ? they are on the front, didnt replace them, only the rear shocks.?
