Rear compressed / extended = 72mm / 98mm

Not sure how these compare with B4 shocks though (sorry can't be arsed to take mine off to measure them at the moment), heck I haven't even checked the part numbers. For all I know B4 and B44 shocks might be the same parts.
Any chance you could re-take the measurements from mounting centre to mounting centre? I think the B44 shocks are the same size bodies as the B4 so compressed will be the same but the B44 has longer front shafts for more extension.

For the kit Tamiya shocks you subtract 7mm from the total length to get the centre-centre length.
