Front vs Rear shocks?

[mkassab]

Can't fine in the ref manual and FF part numbers don't match the Koni numbers.

My question is... which shock goes on the front vs the rear. One pair of shocks are about 1.25" shorter than the other (measured center to center of the mounting bolt holes. Over all length of one pair is ~16 1/4" and the other is ~17 5/8"

Thanks in advance,
Mark

All set... the front is shorted then the rear

Thx Mark

It's also worth pointing out, because of the front end geometry, the front shocks have a stroke of maybe 2 3/4 inches where the rears are like 5 or 5 1/2 inches.

Another way to tell them apart.

Looks like you have already figured this out, but for anyone finding this thread later on, I had to dig through the manual to figure it out. It wasn't until the rear coil-over shock assembly section (page 60 in my manual) that I came across this:

"The front shock extended measurement is 15.15" center to center. They are 2.50" shorter than the solid axle rear shocks."

I really think this information would have been useful in the section earlier in the manual that covers the front shocks.
