extension:
disconnect your shock and let the suspension droop to where the coil can be spun by hand with a little force, but is not unseated. measure

compression:
remove the coil and compress the suspension until the bumpstops make contact. measure


Are you still trying to install one tons?

Ya I am still planning on tons as long as it doesn't sell before I start the swap. We just moved into a new house and I was nice to my wife and lent her some of my jeep fund for new furniture. So I'm just a little short now. Should have it in the next little bit. Thanks for the help. Now what shocks are recommended?

I love the Mountain Ryder Extreme foam filled shocks i got from Les Schwab, really they have been way smooth and better than i could ever imagine

I have a set of front OMEs for sale that work perfectly on TJs with 3.5-4.5 of lift. For the rear i would outboard the shocks.
