okay im ordering custom built shocks for my explorer from www.doetsh-shocks.com and i need help. The guy on the fone said measure your shocks wiht all the weight on them from the eyehole to bolt. Could you please view my site www.cardomain.com/id/nnnick03 and make sure i measured correctly, or tell me which attempt i measured correctly? I wasnt really sure where the shock ended and started. Thanks a bunch! I wanna get these stupid things ordered soon. My back is at 19" and im pretty sure i got that right, but i will know for sure after i figure out if i measured the fronts correctly
 






Its hard to tell in your pics. Looks like "measurement try 2" is correct for the top because I assume that is the eye hole. As for the bottom, I would measure to the center of the bolt that goes through the bushing in the shock. Then, when you call back to give them the measurements, just explain where you took them from to make sure you got it right.
