It occurred to me when I was measuring the distance from the base of the top "half" of the shock to the lower mounting bolt that my new shocks might be different than the original ones, throwing off the ride height specification in the shop manual.  I measured my old ones and they are different from each other, so I can't rely on my measurements now.

Does anyone know the distance from the upper mounting bolt to the base of the top "half" of the original front shocks?
