The length of the rod itself isn't a factor. What is needed is the length of the fully-collapsed assembly (When the spring is "stacked").

The measurement should be made from the end flanges of a stacked OEM and a stacked aftermarket assembly.

I have a precise digital caliper but don't have an aftermarket assembly to measure. Someone will come up with the measurements but we do know, from some tests already reported, that at least one aftermarket assembly is, when collapsed, at LEAST 1/16" longer than the OEM assembly.
