You might want to take into account the jounce bumper on the Performance 2.2 shocks. They are 1.5" and I would guess could compress to at least half their height. This would give these shocks an extra .75" of travel. That would put them at 15.75" compress for 9.25" stroke. I measured mine before I installed them, but didn't write down the numbers. I compared them to the stock shocks both front and rear. They were both about 2" longer extended and would be less than 2" compressed when you consider the jounce bumper. So I believe the front and rears were different lengths and stokes.

About the extended lengths, these shocks have an internal rebound spring as well. So they will get longer under load. Measuring them extended resting on a table will not give you the true extended length they are capable of.
