Rear shock ideas?

Because the rear is angled a lot, it doesn't use nearly as much up travel. But I need to work on my shock placement anyway. The driver side angle is decent (other than not long enough) but the passenger side angle is terrible. I think it's funky from the factory...made worse by having the axle moved back some, so it's got even more angle.

Unfortunately, you will bottom out in the front and more than likely over extend the rear. I do with 12" running 56" rears.
 
I don't think I'll bottom out the front because my bumpstops are set for it. Well, the suspension may bottom out, but not the shocks.

Running out of shock droop in the back is just how it is I guess. I started this thread to get ideas and didn't really get any except inboarding or running them into the passenger area. Neither of these appeals to me.

My angles in the back aren't so different from in front BTW. My axle is in stock location, but as it droops the axle will move forward, pulling even further away from the upper mount on the driver's side. Opposite thing going up.
