I am trying to keep my rig as low as possible (less than 3") and haven't been able to find many shocks that offer a decent amount of travel and a relatively short commpressed length. Most of the 11" travel shocks come out to 16"-17" or so compressed, which just won't work with very small lifts.
My idea is to lower the axle end shock mount down to the vicinity of the LCA mount bolt. This would give me about 3" extra length. The LCA axle mounts were already replaced with 3/16" thick ones, so I was thinking I could probably weld the mounting tabs directly to that.
I looked all over, and have not found any reference to this being done before. Is there a reason not to do this that I am overlooking?
