Remember that the allowances as they were written were there to allow shocks
that were provided by the shock manufacturers that weren't dimensionally
correct. This was mostly because shock manufacturers would use one part
number for several applications. Current high tech shock manufacturers will
build a shock to whatever dimensions you specify. So, someone who
opportunistically took advantage of the allowance may have to have their
shocks reconfigured by the manufacturer. Add a spacer to the shock body, and
get a new shaft made, and reassemble your shocks to the OE dimension...
