I used 88 shocks on my 87. Too much tuck looks weird.

The shock lengths are different between 87 and 88? Would I want to go with different shocks on an '86.

Yes, the 88's are shorter. The 87s and before are all the same length.

how much shorter? im planning on tucking soon, so im gonna just tuck to '88 length and go from there.

tucking the DB's was easy, getting them back on...PITA
mine is held on by like 2 bolts, only one is really tightened down....oh well.

if you do it,
take bumper off
drill shocks
compress, get oil out
stretch shocks out
put back on
kick in bumper
done

otherwise you end up with not enough room to screw in bolts...like i did!
