    Closed Length of stock Discovery 1 shocks

    Hey

    I have needed/planed to move my shock mounts, after fitting new shocks with springs, but it haste of clean up my stock shock have been chucked.

    A search revealed an approx rear shock length at 570/370mm, can anyone speak to the accuracy of this approximation, and a closed length of a standard front shock.(the searched page is below)

    Front RRC Boge is 330MM from the inner top cup to inner bottom cup . You would also have to add your estimate of the compressed bush length.

    Thanks you 2, looks like it will work out alright. need to move rears up 55 mm and fronts up a measly 12mm, might call front 25 and get longer shocks next time.
