Default Gen 8 Shock Length

Thing of picking up a set of Gen 8 shocks for a project. Anyone got a length extended eye to eye. Thanks.

One of the gen8 engineers in the fb group said they're 95mm. I've seen some going with either 90mm or 100mm shocks with no issues.

Got the shocks today. They seem to be good, not leaking.. They are going on Axial Deadbolt in place of leaking stock shocks. and other mods. G8 shocks are the same length as Axial's, so all good. Just had to switch out bottom mount with Axial one, simple swap out, as both shafts are the same. Now to get out on the rocks when the rain stops to test. Cheers. RB

But is that 100mm of travel?

I’m looking for 100mm of travel vs the 90mm of travel I’ve read the shocks may be

100mm is the overall, eye to eye length of the fully extended shock. You do not get 100mm of travel from a 100mm shock just like you don't get 90mm of travel out of a 90mm shock.

Bad phrasing. I meant 100mm fully extended
Thx for answer. I need 110mm fully extended
