I'm looking to order some and need to figure out which ones I need. Never had stud mounted shocks before.
Thanks.

Measuring points differ based on the mounting style. Extended and Compressed lengths are measured:
From center of eyering to shoulder of stud
From center of eyering to center of eyering
