I have an old set of VW bettle front shocks here that fit fine, but the travel down when fitted is only around just under 2" I would need about 4" down travel
the VW shocks that i have here measure.
fully closed 260mm 26cm a bit over 8 1/2 "
fully open, 410mm 41cm a bit over 16"
cheers barnsey
sorry if this don't make sense.
