Calvert racing-shocks-Measurement
Well i hadnt planned on changing my shocks but the daily needed new rear shocks and being a gearhead i got the crazy idea of taking the shocks from my weekend toy for the daily, that way i could improve the drag truck a little
Daily:
Weekend drag toy: (2/4 drop)
Have been reading in here looking at a lot of different options i decided to make a thread to talk about shocks a little more
I have some bilstein 24-026758 laying around i end up not using on other toyota truck (they messure 12 1/4" compressed and 18 3/4) extended)
i took maesurments from the green truck standing on the ground from center bolt hole to center bolt hole before i took the shocks off and driverside was 17 3/4" and passenger side 18 /14"
I called calvert racing after i read possitive things about them in here and according to maesurments they recommend p/n: CR22150 wish has more upper movement space then down, the guy @ calvertracing told me our truck move up when they launch and i always tought they compressed down
according to that info the bilstein are way to short
when i relocate my shocks later will i need shorter shocks or longer? wondering if i can use the same shocks

I ended ordering ranchos, since there the same then calvert racing i ordered the RS999262 wish has Extended Length: 23.830 and Compressed Length: 15.280
It will give me 2.47" down room and 5.58 up room
I hope they wont be to long for when i relocate my rear shocks later
It will give me 2.47" down room and 5.58 up room

with cal-tracs, I don't think there is a such thing as too long...just too short.

i read in another thread txsilverado said it was bad to overtighten the shocks when u installed them, well when i uninstalled them they where so tight and bend together i had a hard time getting them out of there mount, i´ll open the mounts before i install my new shocks
