mounted on the volcano and fully extended they are 4inches (10cm).

I got really confuzed... cartronicshn is right, nicacus said "shock tower breaks upon landing..."

and then what tornado are we talking about???? the new himoto tornado 1:8 4x4? or the redcat tornado 1:10 buggy? I would expect the t-maxx shocks to fit the 1:8 without any problems but I have no idea about the buggy ...never had one

How are those shocks working out for you? I just go a Volcano and one of the stock shocks is starting to ooze oil. The truck seems to handle OK alot better in the backyard then the Buggy. Are they alot better then stock?
