Length of front shock absorber

Post by GlennV » Sun Aug 22, 2010 2:35 pm

Hi Guys,

can anyone tell me the full length of the front shock absorber of the GPA ? extended and compressed.

The problem is that i think that my GPA has got his nose up in the air.

It may be caused by the normal jeep shocks i used.

Regards,
Glenn

Front------10 5/16 compressed and 16 5/16 extended
Rear---- 11 5/16 "" 18 5/16 ''' '''
The front 16 /5/16 is important so that you do not allow the drag link to hit the hull when swimming

Hi David,

thank you for the dimensions.

Now that i have the right length i can search for other shocks that are more simular to the original ones.

Or if someone has a pair of original front shock absorbers for sale i would be interested as well.
