Hey everyone, I need to get some new shocks for the front of my yota. does anyone have some part numbers for some short shocks that will work for the front? the ones i have right now are done,they have eyelets on both ends so i need to replace them with the same style. Thanks in advance!

monroe.com has a sweet .pdf chart of all their shocks, extended and collapsed dimensions and mounting styles. Just bring that part number to your local parts store and get hooked up with the right shocks.

Well... if you can read a tape measure.. go meassure from the mouning areas what the comprested and extended length would be.. since they measure that on real shocks from the center eye of the mounting loop or the base of the stem.... and since one side of the shock is going to me mounted in a fixed area you can also figure out how much travel you are going to need aswell.. take those measurements and take them to your parts store.. OR take the measurements and compare them the the PDF file on Monroes site (.. http://www.monroe.com/catalog_lookup/ocl_miscappinfo.asp .. second one down) and get the part number that best matches what you need and style of shock you need.. if its more costly than what you are looking to spend then have the parts store cross ref. the part # for a cheaper shock thats in your budget.. it really not that hard...

ask for one for the front of a 73-87 chevy pickup, or look in a street rod catalog. they have many that are very short and offer them in chrome finish.
