I'm trying to figure out which touring shocks go on the front and which go on the rear part #'s don't match assembly manual anyone used these. They are koni 400# springs and 250# springs I would assume 400# go on front but with what shock there are 2 different part # nethier match assembly manual. Part # on box 2611 and 2610 2611 has longer stroke.
Thanks for any information.

Solid axle rear shocks are usually longer than fronts at least on my MKIII assume it’s the same on newer version.

I agree w/ DaveM. 400# springs on front and 250# on rear. Longer shocks on the rear. BTW it would be helpful if you have some car details in your sig line. In this case I'd like to know rear suspension type. Go to the top right of this web page and click 'MyProfile'. Then 4 inches down from the top center click 'AboutMe' and type details in 'Signature'.

Thanks for the help I'm using solid axle 8.8 355 gears I found that reading further into the manual it gives you the stroke measurements of the shocks. Hope I get better at posting.

Solid axle shocks should be somewhere around 17-17.5" eye to eye when fully extended. I don't remember #s for the fronts but very obviously shorter. BTW no problem w/ your posting. Could be you aren't allowed to do what I suggested until you have made X number of posts, IDK.
