I've never ran a short spring w the drop spindles, I've always just ran the drop spindles with stock shock.
Thanks guys
You can test it out w/the stock shocks as it will be close.

I'd put things together & measure the distance between the upper & lower mounts to 'know' that dimension. You can also measure your stock shock @ full extension & fully compressed. The math between the 3 dimensions will provide insight. It's pretty common that stock shock length usually works w/a cut-coil which is similar to a 2" drop spring.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
