Hi Guys,
can anyone tell me the full length of the front shock absorber of the GPA ? extended and compressed.
The problem is that i think that my GPA has got his nose up in the air.
It may be caused by the normal jeep shocks i used.
Regards,
Glenn

Re: Length of front shock absorber
Front------10 5/16 compressed and 16 5/16 extended
Rear---- 11 5/16 "" 18 5/16 ''' '''
The front 16 /5/16 is important so that you do not allow the drag link to hit the hull when swimming

Re: Length of front shock absorber
Hi David,
thank you for the dimensions.
Now that i have the right length i can search for other shocks that are more simular to the original ones.
Or if someone has a pair of original front shock absorbers for sale i would be interested as well.
