Default cougar shocks length and droop question

Hi, I got rid of my big bores and replaced them with another brand, but forgot to take dimensions and measurements before I sold them. I'd like to start them off in the same manner as the standard car. So,

1) What are the length of the big bore shocks?

2) What is the ride height front and rear when lifting the chassis up?

I've put on kyosho shocks, and the front seem to be too short even with the eyelet unscrewed. Some longer shock ends have helped, but still like to know the standard shock settings. Rear seems about right. I guess the chassis should be flat when the shocks are fully extended.

And to losi shocks, I dont remember the schu front shocks being that long, I have a losi CR and those front shocks are just extremely LONG compared to the rest of my cars.

surely someone can spare 20 secs of their time..........
