Am using rancho rs5113 on rears scott, its 20.25" / 12.88" Eye to Eye, they are good but hard
Jordi, i can find L200 shocks eazy but i think they will be hard as my rear ranchos
i was thinking of getting the same shocks as fronts and weld a eye at the top .
DAD... i need 60 euros for the rear shocks please?????

I think Scott did something similar at one point.

All I can say is, whatever you do, avoid pro-comp es3000s... most shocks use gas or oil, I think es3000s use cement

Chris (EKTOZ) and I were discussing the possible use of L200 Hilux twin cab shocks - I guessed they would be way too hard just as you say Jordi, they are made for a MUCH heavier truck.
Son, our mutual friend in Nicosia has all my money

So 270mm travel (10.6") that's good to know, means they have just over 1" more travel than astra shocks.
