Can anyone help me out. I'm not at home and wont be for the next month, so need a little help :)

Can anyone tell me the compressed length of a N2.0 front shock from the +4" ORA suspension kit. Measured from mid-eye to bottom of top stem?

Thanks :)

Thanks Martin.

Hope I'm not sounding too ungrateful. Are you sure the measured shocks are from the 4" lift and not the 2.5" lift?

I'm only asking, because something in my head tells me that the +4" shocks measure around 61 cm extended. Measured it a while ago , but I could be wrong :blush:

No problem, I have unboxed one to have a look.....(I sell the same ones)

I guess the manufacture lists a slightly conservative figure as you would not want to hit the end stop in real life.

Thanks Martin.

I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out what Bilstein shock that fits. Here in Denmark, we're not allowed to modify the suspension mounts on the chassis. So shocks will have to around same length as either standard to match those of a suspension lift.

For now, I'm consider either Bilstein 5125, 5165 or 7100 series. Just need to figure out correct valving :)

BTW, Some of the 5125 shocks have stem upper mounts, and would be an ideal shock for most Jimny's with a 2-4" lift. And provide much better control offroad than many other cheap shocks offered with a lift kit. And they're not that expensive.

Bilstein 5165
