Thanks Berry.  After some minor experientation a distance of 7/8" from each 
end of the shock to the washer gave the compression you spoke about and left 
ample room for the nut and locknut with a couple threads showing.  The 
shocks are working well and make a huge difference in ride and handling.  
Installed new rear coil spring insulators too.

Walt-I don't know about that particular application, but most shock
instructions state that the rubber should be compressed until it is the same
diameter as the cup washer.  Berry
