E-bay man. I bought 8 rear OFNA 9.5 shocks off ebay over the course of a month or two, $20-$25 a pair. They normally sold in pairs, front or rear. I put them on a savage... OFNA 9.5 shocks. I could drop that thing off a building and it wouldn't bottom out.
I can't find my metric ruler for the life of me or I'd measure one for you...
What are you using them for?
Just like these: OFNA 9.5 Rear Shocks
On tower: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCWT5&P=7
EDIT:
Found a ruler (had to bug my wife). The OFNA 9.5 rear shocks are 120mm from center hole to center hole and almost 132mm from tip to tip.

I'm gona be puting them on my tmaxx.
I think they are too long aren't they? I used some modified ones from unlimited engineering... at least they said they were modified... They were shorter than the rear shocks and I'm 99% sure they were longer than front shocks.
I believe I still have the 4 I bought years ago... I used OFNA 9.5 front shock shafts in two of them because I bent one badly once. I believe it was a mm or two shorter than what was in the shock.
Although, with that in mind, the UE ones were still a bit too long. They would allow the arms to over extend, so running fronts may be more what you want. I was using RPM shock towers/arms on my maxx at the time. The UE ones may have been better to use with the knucklehead shock tower, but I hate running aluminum towers, especially when RPM is available.
If you'd like, I can dig through my stuff and see if I can find them for measurement purposes. I'm fairly certain two of them still have the original shafts in them, but I'm not 100% sure. If not, I'm also pretty certain I kept the original shafts... I haven't had a maxx for 4 years and I still have those shocks... I ran them on a savage with aftermarket upper arms that allowed for t-maxx shocks for a few years. Even running 4, they held up really well.
Sorry... rambling...

I had taken a photo for reference a while back and forgot about it.
This is an UE SuperMaxx shock:
