I'm camping, 20 miles from my Bronco so I can't measure for myself. I need to know the shock length people are running with hoops up front. Either that, or the distance from the factory lower mount to the corresponding hoop mounting location.

I'm hoping to be driving it by the end of this week but need these shocks for the front.

It depends on the hoops, suspension lift, whether you have body lift, etc. Some can be installed higher or lower depending on the other variables. There really isn't any substitution for measuring the actual truck when determining viable shock lengths, however you could always contact the shock hoop supplier and ask them...or they may chime in on your thread directly.

I guess I should have included more info:

3" suspension lift
No body lift
Standard position on the radius arm, first hole behind the coil bucket on the hoop.
These look just like the WH hoops and have one position ahead of, and two behind the spring.

I'll measure before ordering, but would like a nude in the right direction for entertainment shopping.
