Shock question

I need to replace the shocks on one of my 2000 ex's. This one has the v/mod b springs. Pretty sure I'm going with the kyb monomax after seeing them recommended frequently on here. My question is whether to just get the ones for an excursion or if the V/B's mean I should get a different length?

Anyone have any feedback on this? I've been searching but can't seem to find the answer. I'm thinking new shocks would need to be longer with the v/b springs and I don't want to order the wrong ones....

What's your ride height? Measuring from the center of the hub to the wheel well.

23 1/2" front, 24 1/2" rear. I got to looking through the tech folder and found some info that makes me think I need to get the f250 fronts and the excursion rears.

your measurements are pretty dang close to my 210k almost worn out Original springs measurements, are you sure you have V/mod B?

My new U’s are 24.50 front and mod B are 26.0

Typically the spring change accounts for 2" increase in static height.
