Haha I don't mind helping. The shock length depends on desired ride height from stock, current suspension mods, and intended use. So to answer your question, it depends 😁

Any other parts installed? What are you wanting to do with the height compared to where it is now?

Assuming you have stock arms now youll need a different lower bracket when you go to the DJM arms. So keep it stock height for now? I typically size from the second hole down so you still have some room to adjust the height. With that your median shock length would be about 16.5". I of course sell Viking shocks as part of the kit here https://atomicfabandperformance.com/...d_coiloverkit/
