I am in the middle of installing my 2.5" YJ spring conversion with OME springs and looking for some information on stock shock lengths so I can calculate the ideal shock lengths for the new setup. I removed the original shocks and measured the following;

Front Extended Length - 20.5" eye to eye
Front Collapsed Length - 13" eye to eye
Rear Extended Length - 19.375" eye to eye
Rear Collapsed Length - 12.25" eye to eye

The removed shocks from my Jeep were blue in color and have steel dust covers. I am not sure if these were the original shocks, so looking to see if someone else can confirm these stock shock lengths for me? I can try to get a picture of the shocks tonight.

Thanks!!

Those are Monro-Matic Plus shocks.
They are listed as direct replacements for your Jeep and an unbelievably long list of other Jeeps.
