I think the ones you need are the 99113.I use the 99116 on my Demon,but I have super stock springs.

Thats strange, I have -1" split monos and the dr diff offset spring hangers in the top hole, which lowers the car another inch.

I have rs99116 ranchos and have one inch clearance from snubber on diff to the floor pan and about one and a half inches before the shocks bottom out.

My tailshaft would hit the floor pan before the shocks could bottom out.

When i ordered mine,there was only two types 99113 for a body and 99116 for e body cars. The company i bought mine off only had the 99116, so i used them.

I must have been lucky, i also have 1" lowering blocks as well and i have 1 1/2" clearance before the shocks bottom out.

Your car must sit really low, has it got sliders in the rear.

Spring ride height: 1” low 1” high standard

A Body 99113 99116 call for tech assistance

B/E Body 99113 99116 call for tech assistance

Measurement required at static ride height – shock attachment point top to bottom

Measurement between 17 - 19 inches: use 99116 Measurement between 15 - 16 inches: use 99113

Brad, I just dug up some of my notes. The 99113 a body shock is 2" shorter than the e body 99116 when fully compressed.

looks like you have to source some 99113s. Rob.

We may both be in luck, if you want I have a set of NIB A body Rancho's I might trade you out for the B/E's.

But I may be able to use the A body length on my Rocky but I need to get up under there to see, I'll try to do that sometime today. I need a set of the long ones for my Charger though.

PM me if you're interested.
