What's the height difference between Foxbody front struts and SN95 ones? I remember hearing that one application is a bit longer than the other.

Just wondering because I noticed that the Bilstein struts I bought are the same part number for all '87-'93 models... which makes me wonder if they're made in the shorter of two heights, which I would assume would give more suspension travel in whichever body uses the longer shocks from the factory...?

I guess that means Bilsteins will slightly increase travel in SN95's, because they're the same length as Fox struts when I compared them side by side...
