should i just measure from the bumpstop to the axle or would it be better to take it on a ramp. the truck dosent have an engine in it yet and theres no wieght on the rear besides a gastank. i got 4 inch shackle flip soon with 56's in the rear and i was thinkin runin the shocks verticle in the rear on the outside of frame using some flat square tubing,angle iron, and some ferd shock towers for the rear shock mounts.
5$ glass,motors and 2 door panels (1 good ) off 83 k5 doors boths sides,all 4 glass, you pull, goin to make half doors az only

ramping it will definitely help you figure it out... most leaf sprung suspensions don't have as much travel in compression as they do droop... so a 50/50 mounted shock probably won't be optimal.

thx for the info
i was thinkin about just gettin some procomp es3000 in longest travel they come in, to match the front. And this is just for now then upgrade when the bigger lift goes on.
