Default OEM Shock dimensions

I did not know where else to ask this question and I figured who else would know better then the racers on the board. I am working on getting custom shocks done for my car and I need the total length and shock body length of both the front and rear shocks starting from the center of the lower mounting holes. I would rather not have to remove my stock shocks just to measure them. So if someone that has some stock shocks sitting in their garage could take 5 minutes and measure them for me I would be very appreciative. All I need are:

1. Full shock length from the top of the shaft to the center of the lower mounting holes.

2. Shock body length from the lower mounting holes up.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks again. Exactly what I needed. Are the body lengths really that different?

You got the body lengths backwards. The rears are the shorter body, not the fronts.

I would have thought that but I haven't looked at my shocks to see. Either way thanks a ton for the measurements. You saved me from having to pull my shocks off the car.
