I got Viking DA crusader coil over shocks, with 12" springs.

Main reason to get them was to lower the car slightly.
But as I am correcting ride height equally for both sides. I noticed the driver side shock is different than the passenger.
Stroke of the shock is 5.75" full extension.

The driver shock is 4" up on the outer threads of the shock body, and about 3" of rod sticking out with weight of the car on them.
790lbs corner weight for the driver rear tire.

The passenger weight is 770lbs on the rear passenger tire.
The shock is about 3" up on the outer threads of the shock body, and about 3.5" of rod sticking out of the shock, with weight on the shock.

I still have to correct the ride height, my driver side still needs to go up another 1/4" to be equal with the passenger side.
I have the anti roll bar disconnected.
Nothing else I see is binding.

Anyone notice this big of a difference from driver to passenger shock heights?

 

if you jack the front wheels off the ground using the center of the k member, do your measurements look different?

 

Good point!
I know the instructions say to do that for the install of the anti roll bar.

I'll lift the front up and see

 

Using rear weight jacks, they need to adjusted differently to get the rear fender heights the same.

 

Ok, thanks for that info.
