What length for dummy shock when lowering rear?

I'm too new to know whether most of these replies are sarcasm or confusion. Guess I didn't give enough background info for the story!

Will just set it using the jack and tape measure I think! From what I read it was advisable to use the dummy damper method to ensure that the drop was even at both sides.

Take everything on here with a pinch of salt bud!

I don't know what the shock length would equal, but if you measure your arch, then put a shock in, I'm sure a lot of people would be very grateful to have that information. It would be very useful to have

I've only ever lowered with measuring to the arch from the hub, and never had any problems
