These are the dimensions you have to get right. Great job getting those specs. I would bolt in a 9 1/8" fixture to imitate full bag extension and then mount shocks at their full extension. The shock companies would frown on using them to limit suspension travel, but you gotta limit it some way. Or risk tearing a bag. Make sure you have full bag compression going the other way. You don't want the shock to limit things that direction. Rubber bump stops should control it that direction. Hope you don't mind these suggestion. Just trying to help. As I wrote earlier, I have had to do many mods over from making mistakes.
