5 1/2" on both right and left old GRT with BSB birdcages, measured from where you asked. Traction shock is 26 1/2" fully extended and distance from upper frame rail to top of axel tube is maxed at 14 3/4" on left. R rear ride heigth is set at 3" above underslung bar and limited to 1 3/4" additional drop by a chain, except under very high traction conditions, then I let go till it touches underslung bar. There that is about all I got.
