I have raised my rear shock mounts. This has really helped clearance issues. After raising the mounts, however, I had to install stock shocks because of "extended" shocks I had were too tall. They did not allow enough compression.
I'm looking at getting new shocks. I want to address this issue so I am able to at least run shocks with 10" - 12" of total stroke. At ride height, the current measurement is 15" and I'm pretty sure I am not going to be able to as is.
Has anyone addressed this, and what have you done? I'd like to be able to raise the upper mount or increase the static distance eye to eye without lifting. Increasing the angle of the shock (I hear) reduces their effectiveness. I have some ideas what I could do, but I'd sure appreciate some feedback.
Thanks,
Les
