Adjustable Shock question

[wastntim]

Last year I installed some adjustable shocks I bought second hand. The shocks came with rather short hoses for the canister causing me to mount them right by the wheels. I'm having to have one of the rears rebuilt and am considering having a longer hose installed so that I can mount the canister in the trunk for easier adjustment.

Anybody know what hose length I will need to do a nice install in the trunk?

all help is appreciated.

Depending on the length of the hose you might want to increase one size. Say like if it comes with a #3 hose and you go to a 2ft long hose, you may want to bump up to a #4 hose. The extra length could change the interaction between the cannister and the shock if it creates a pressure drop.

Ask your shock supplier for an opinion.
