I just think I'm confused on how everything works....I understand with the first scenario (10.25/13.25) there's a 3" stroke. On the second scenario (9.75/14.625) there's almost a 5" stroke.

Having said that, the second shock is also approximately 1-3/8" longer at extended length.

However, both specs recommend a 10" spring.

So here's my question (I think): If both shocks had a 10" spring placed on them, and then both shocks were adjusted so that each spring was 9" long (for example).....then the second shock would still be an 1 and 3/8" longer than the first....right? So the car would sit (in this case the front) roughly an inch higher in the front with the longer shocks. Do I have this right so far?

So given that the second shock is still over an inch longer, could the ride height still be manipulated so that the shocks are equal length?
