So If you put the complete shock and spring assembly in, it will work Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54034-important-bf2-shockssprings-will-not-fit-earlier-models/page/4/#findComment-1478801 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measure from the bottom bolt where the strut bolts to the lower control arm. The distance from that bolt up to the spring seat will either be 205mm or 255mm (give or take a few mm)The 205mm measurement means BA and BF1, the 255mm measurement means BF2 strut. So the shorter measurement is Early, longer is Later.
