Shock Body and Shaft lengths

Post by **pumpkinfish** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 4:46 pm

So I have this assortment of shock bodies and shafts that I have forgotten what they came off of. Is there any charts that floating around that have measurements and their equivalents i.e. a shock body 1.5" long = 1.32 AE Shock? Same for the shafts.

I've been looking for a similar chart / spreadsheet / list of the same kind of info for a while. Would be great not to have to look in every single manual or parts list to get a couple numbers at a time.

For shock bodies measure them on the insides. From the bottom of the shock inside to the top of the threads on the opening will be close to the shock stroke length.

Measure shafts from the bottom c-clip groove to the top of the taper on the threaded end and subtract 7/16".

Won't come out to the exact stroke length numbers but it'll be close enough to tell what you've got.

The RCCA Dec. 1990 scan also has a pretty good listing of shock dimensions from that time.
