Re: SiX-fo SuBuRbAn
Depending on application, I try and locate shocks with maximum extension.
For example, I measure axle travel to contact with bumpstop, and add 1" or so for bumpstop compression...then set top bolt hole location for shock at compressed point.
This gives maximum axle droop or "flex" for wheel'n.
The closer the shocks are to vertical, the better they will work.
You can run a longer, tighter shock mounted at an angle, so they will fit in the chassis, and still allow for maximum travel.
Brake, vent hoseing, E-cable and driveline pullout are obvious issues to be checked as you know.
