Get a shock that has a compressed length slightly shorter. For street driven dropped vehicles I have found the extended length does not really matter much. In fact I have seen problems where "drop shocks" were installed and it made the ride bad because of limiting down travel. Topping out the shocks, not allowing suspension to follow the road. One thing I think is often overlooked by many is that a shock mounted at an angle is not moving 1 to 1 with the suspension.

When you say "topping out the shocks" do you mean over extending them? That is different than "limiting down travel correct? I'm not trying to argue. Im just looking for clarity.
