G'day, loving my Good Car Co Jap import ZE1 but am lifting it 30mm for our rutted farm tracks. I have the lift kit and have done the front but need 30mm longer rear shockies. To save me removing the shock before i do the install, can anyone give me (or point me to) the overall length (eye to top of thread on rod) and stroke length of my standard issue ZE1 rear shock absorbers? 😊
 
Decided to measure them myself after all. For others interested:
At full extension:
Eye to top of thead: 689mm, 27 & 1/8 inch

When fully compressed:
Eye to top of thead: 536mm, 21 & 1/4 inch

So stroke=689-536= 153mm, 6 inches.
Cheers.
 
Thanks for this, from another Leaf owner who lives with rutted farm tracks! If I interpret your measuring correctly, the new shocks could have the same total differential of 6" but would need to be 30mm longer overall? we have a lift kit in our Juke which added 45mm and that is what I would like for the Leaf- the mud here can be insane!
