Big tube bumper shock size?

Post by Gunsmith »

I assume there is a difference in shock sizes for the front and back bumpers? Yes no? Any difference between years? Anyways I need a front and back to experiment with for my new bumper idea. Does anyone have some they would like to sell. I am going to be cutting it up so the only real important thing is the mounting base needs to be straight. It does not matter if the shock itself is in working order.

I have not measured, but they looked like they were about the same size to me.
I do have used ones, I'd want $25 each, plus shipping.
Thanks,

It's been a while, but I think the size is virtually the same, but the plates that attach to the bumper are slightly different.
