I found a Monroe shock catalog online that gave the dimensions of their shocks. There maybe other mfg catalogs out there, but onroe was the first I found. Find the shock you want by dimension the cross over to another brand,

You'll need both the compressed and extended lengths, plus what style ends you need to get the proper fitment.

Go to ADvance Auto, COMMERCIAL counter and ask them.....and look at the book they have. They DO have the info and most commercial folks can handle it.....just go before 5pm.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

they usually stick the commercial parts counter in the BACK where the stock is, most walk-in traffic never even knows they are there (at least that's how it is at my local parts place).
