Thanks for reaching out, Bill!
The Replacement Dexter Bolt-On Shock Kit # K71-697-00 measures 7-1/2" compressed (13-1/2" overall including the mounting hardware). We haven't been able to get a fully extended measurement because Dexter Axle for whatever reason doesn't know this, and we aren't able to get it without installing the shocks.
It's worth mentioning that these shocks are direct replacements for the shocks that come in the Dexter Axle Shock Kit K71-175-01 for 2-3/8" and 3" diameter axles with 1-3/4" wide springs. If that's what you have then these will work perfectly!
