This is as low as you can get the ride height:

I haven't had a chance to run them yet but they feel nice. Quality is much better than the HSP shocks. These even have a bleed hole in the caps, which is nice. I'll report back one I run them. LL it's of snow coming down at the moment.

Looks good.
They don't specify length. How long are they compared to stock? (which is 100mm & 115mm)

I didn't measure but just a little longer than stock. Definitely shorter than the HSP's. The biggest issue I had was finding something to mount the top. The hole is huge.

When I get a chance I will measure them.

Here are the measurements from middle of eyelet to middle of eyelet.

Stock front: 101
mm

Basher front: 105mm

Stock rear: 116mm

Basher rear: 122mm

Pretty close.

Am interested on seeing how they perform. The HSP are ok, the fronts feels good but the rears were definitely too stiff. I replaced the rear shock springs from the factory and put them on the HSP rear shocks. The springs are way shorter though so not the ideal but it did soften them up a lot though. Hopefully these will work out for you ??

is the ride height from the length of the shocks or from the spring rate? is there any down travel or are the shocks already fully extended at ride height?

They are not fully extended. It has to be the extra 4mm or so.

Hey bickety, how are these holding up?

Hey bickety, how are these holding up?

Great! They are sitting in a box if parts ? I decommissioned by Senton and I use it for parts for my Granite and BRCC ?

Awesome! Well I am going to try a set on my Granite.
