I am a bit fuzzy. Do you now have the longer shocks?

I don't remember, did you buy the shocks from Newell or from King? The reason that may matter is that Newell delt with RoadKing shocks. Roadking was a company that marketed the shocks, and simply had King make them.

I had quite a negative experience with Roadking, but I didn't lose any money in the long run. a year later, after Roadking was out of business, I bought my shocks directly from King. But I had to send them back because they were simply valved way too soft. I don't know this for a fact, just sort of what I surmised, was that whatever info Roadking had did not translate to King when King decided to market the shocks.

I am guessing you only provided VIN number and not the actual measurements, is that true?

Have you talked with the sales rep at King about your concerns and your surprise at the invoice?

Is it possible that the most excellent shop (sarcasm) put the fronts on the rear and vice versa? I ask because I spent some time making sure the fronts went on the front, and the rears on the rear because the rears were slightly longer than the fronts.
