I went out to the warehouse and pulled replacement shock # T1242600 to confirm the measurements and where they are taken. The measurements are from eye center to eye center. So when compressed you will have a center to center length of 6 inches and when extended it is 8-1/16 inches. I have included a picture showing the measurements for you.
