I'm with you on that one. I'm glad Rancho took the time to figure out what would be best for your application. Good service is tough to come by these days.

Keep us posted!

collapsed length - 14.4 inches
stroke - 9.55 inches

So this means that the FS shocks are about 2 inches longer fully compressed, but provides almost 3 inches in extension. Now we just need someone to go flex their suspension and take some measurements.

Also i wonder how different the valving is between them...

Well the fullsize air shocks weren't maxed out when I did this

So I dont think you guys will have any issues
