    @Brian422 Search for that part number on ebay. Look for 4WP as the vendor/seller. The photo is a stock photo, but the actual shock is a 12" with eyelets on both ends.

    The listing and product is legit. That retail price is the lowest I've seen. And timing wise, I got an additional 5% off from ebay and earned another 8% on ebay bucks.

    Thats awesome IDK why their price is so low but im not complaining lol. Got quoted $1300 from Accutane for some 2.5's. I think these will do just fine for less than half the price.

    @Brian422 @Arcticelf

    Here's the measurement from center of bolt hole to top of shock body. I'm also assuming the bolt hole you're asking about is the "top/tube" one and not the shaft end.

    I only have calipers for accuracy. Sorry, no micrometer.

    As you can see, the 18.77 (18.8) was an eyeball measurement.

    I tried a 2nd way that was more precise and got a similar answer.

    1. Width of eyelet (12.58mm). 12.58/2 = 6.29mm
    20210129_092704.jpg

    2. Edge of eyelet to top of shock body = 12.51mm
    20210129_092611.jpg

    6.29mm + 12.51mm = 18.8mm

    Close to the original eyeball estimate.

    I'm not complaining either. The shocks shipped from Colorado and showed up to Northern CA in 2 days via UPS. And that particular 4WP vendor on ebay was awesome for me when it came to customer service.

    This is the first generation with a straight front leg. The ones you guys will get have the curved front leg to provide more room for the shock.

    Looks sweet. How long you had them on there? Looks like yours is also sitting a little higher?

    Pretty solid setup? How much hard wheeling you do? Ill most likely swap them out for some radflo 2.5's later on to match my fronts but i feel these will be good for now.

    Definitely rock solid. I've done a fair amount of hard wheeling with this setup at Rausch Creek and AOAA which @Arcticelf can attest to. No issues so far.
