identify front and rear shock absorber --grabriel...please..

These are rear air shocks. I installed them on my 1982 VW Rabbit Pickup. With a slight modification. I had to use the metal inserts from the old shocks and press them into the Gabriel shocks.

what are the mesurements conpress and not conpressed?

16.35 extended by 10.75 compressed.

Are the eyelets 90 degrees apart and if not can it be made to do so?

The top eyes of the Gabriel 49307's are rotational.

If I order these when will they ship? It says 1-2 months?

I ordered from Amazon Prime and got them in a couple of days.
