Shock length Question

Ok, so i just did a 4" Belltech shackle and hanger drop on the rear of my c10, the shocks that came with the kit seem too short... when the truck is on the ground the shocks are just long enough to connect to the shock mount on the axle... is that too short? I thought it should be a bit longer to allow travel of the suspension when decompressed? thoughts? Thank you.

Re: Shock length Question

Yes that is to short by far. Stock shocks in the rear will be fine. Of anything just get some fresh nice ones. And get some shock mount extenders to help straighten out the shock angle.
