Hi everyone first of all sorry for long post

My Gaz shocks measure

Front
overall 15" open 14" centre to centre of the bushes
113/4" closed overall 101/2" centre to centre of bushes
8" springs 350lb

Rear
12" open overall 11" centre to centre
101/4" closed overall 9" centre to centre of bushes
7" springs 250lb

I have never been happy with the ride height, the rear lower wishbones point upwards slightly when the springs are adjusted to a reasonable suspension setting, if I adjust them to bring the lower arm level which seems to be a better ride height but then the suspension is way to hard.
I have removed them and fitted a piece of box section 11" long centre to centre and that gives me level lower wishbones and a nice ride height.
So I'm thinking I need rear shocks which will have a centre travel length of 11", overall length 13" open and 9" closed overall approx.

Front 13" centre travel, 15" overall length open and 11" overall closed approx.
Any information from anyone regarding this and Spring sizes would be appreciated.
Regards Mick.
