if you want to go to stock ride height, its about 9 inches when you compress them....actually, 9 inches is just a TAD lower than stock ride height.....

its 9 inches from the bottom part of the shock that is bolted in, but you have to make sure that you hold it at the same angle as when it bolts on to make sure the measuring is accurate....
