I've had 2 sets, both were ordered for a Nova and both were different lengths !!
The ones i've got on at the minuet are spot on, can't mind the length of hand but i'll try & have a measure up over the weekend if you want ?

Yeah they are ... :thumb:
So, open length = 15" / closed length = 10.5" (i think ?)
Springs = 1.9" diameter, 10" length
Sring rate ? i'm running 200lb on mine.

GAZ wanted to know the length I required when ordering mine. I'm not sure if they have an off the shelf model or if they are all made to order.

The length isnt too critical if you are using rear turrets to support the upper mounting. You can then set the height of the top mount & thus the travel & ride height of the body over the wheels.
