Re: shock for a low rider
I sat my chassis on the ground, and relocated the shock mounts such that they would fully compress the stock shocks. Then it's easy to remember what shocks I used.
If you truly want a low-rider, you should be well versed in cutting and welding anyways..... (big grin).

Re: shock for a low rider
Another vote for stock shock lengths & moving the mounts to suit the travel requirements.
