If I measure from the upper shock mounting location to the mounting location on the axle, it measures 16". They would be damn near collapsed at ride height, and would basically be bump stops and they would be destroyed.
I have the same shock up front though and it actually limits my droop, but in the rear no go.

Originally posted by Mike View Postat ride height, from upper shock mounting location to lower shock mounting location, i measure 15". These shocks will not work for me. They would be fully collapsed at ride height.
in fact i have run 12's up front too. but i had too much flexors
in back with factory shock mounts these are doable at 3" if you know how to setup bumpstops (raised shock mounts are far from stock)
