Yes we tested full lock clearance.

We removed the shock, removed the spring and remounted it, then we disconnected the sway bar. Mounted the tire and raised the lower control arm with a floor jack until it hit the limiter (This shock has a built in bump stop.) Once we had the wheel at full compression we swung it through its arc and had a full hand of clearance everywhere.
