What eye dia, width... what pin length, dia... what open and closed lengths?...

Light valving or heavy valving... adjustable? Air, gas over oil, oil...

A few more details wouldn't go amiss :)

Just to add a bit here, longer doesn't necessarily mean better (I am talking shocks here :roll: ). If the shock is too long, it will bottom out when collapsed in a cross axle situation - bad for the shock. Shock length has to match your spring/suspension travel limits otherwise they will be either too short (over extending) or too long (bottoming out) - both of which are not good for shock life.
