Shock length for Trent Nell's original rear suspension

[Chad006]

Hey guys, just wondering if anybody has any idea what the shock dimensions were on Trent's original rear suspension setup. The setup that moved the passenger side shock to the back of the axle with piece of 1" for a crossmember. I will post pictures up later for reference, thanks.

Ya that's the setup I had in mind, I would like to use qa1's with it though. The specs I found for the bilsteins in link were 12" collapsed and 18.5" extended with a 6.6" travel. Does that sound right to you guys?

So yes, you would be correct.
