New rear shock dimensions! Help
Im buying 2 new rancho RS5000 and I have a 4.5" lift with bar pin eliminators in the rear. The guy at the local shop gave me 2 options.
1. 15"/24"
2. 16"/26"
collapsed/extended
My ride height is 20.5-21" with my old rough country shocks (one is blown out and leaking)
Which one will work better?

flex out the truck and measure the distance from the shock mounts, If they'll work I'd go with the 16/26 it would allow for more droop. but ideally when your in the neutral position you want your shock at mid travel.
