Does anyone know what the distance between the mounting flanges is supposed to be on an un-collapsed bumper shock. In my pic it is the space between lines A & B. I measured 1.5" I think it needs to come out about an inch. There is no fluid seepage from the shocks, so I think I may be able to reuse it if I can pull it out. In the second pic you can clearly see the fog lights sitting back further than they should. By the way, these things are a real pain in the ARSS to get at!
