Shock Question

I am about to mount some shocks on my CJ5 Springover project. When the vehicle is sitting level how far out should I extend the shocks before I fabricate the tabs? Thanks for any input!

IMO you should put the tabs where you want them and than buy shocks to fit.

Ditto.

Run the rig up a ramp or similar (forklift,driveway,rock, etc.) measure full compression and droop and buy the correct shocks.
