The 13.9" measurement is expanded measurement? Do you have a compressed measurement? Or they don’t do/have one cuz air shocks? > **[MonroeMountingLengthSpecifications.pdf](https://www.monroe.com/downloads/install-instructions-guides/MonroeMountingLengthSpecifications.pdf)** > > 4.03 MB Front are different or same as rear?

Very nice. Make sure to take care of them for long life. Check balance every charge cycle until you can trust them. ---

Yes, definitely check 9 pin plugs before plugging into bms. This was a picture from Troy, that he wanted marked as to strap connections. I just added the numbers to be helpful. Kind of a harsh assessment. It looked clear to me. Does it seem correct? I will delete it if it’s incorrect or misleading. The two of you are working together? Same setup? ---

The front to back orientation of the battery pack to the vehicle seems wrong and confusing. Do the 4 seaters have a tunnel in them from back to front that I don’t know about? Also, I thought you were showing him how to hook up the bms, too on this paper. In any case, a Vohm meter should be used to make sure. ---

I have to group them together differently. I just thought he should double check with Vohm meter because he is not a chiphead; neither am I for that matter. Isn’t his battery pack going to be oriented 90 degrees differently; under the seat? ---

I replied to his picture in an email and told him exactly the same thing. Use a meter every step. Check for zero volts before bolting on each strap. I didn’t critique his drawing. Only added the connections to what was there. If they fit like that, it will be a nice setup. I think my truck is similar. ---

Yeah, he just sent me a video with the normal battery orientation which is 90 degrees different from diagram…and being held down by the stock FLA battery bar. I couldn’t use that stock bar with 2 seater. ---
