Default Need More Coilover Help Please

Guys.....I'm still deciding on what to do for my front coilovers. I cut some 2x4's and mounted them like shocks on the front.....after measuring different ride heights. Right now, the height from bolt to bolt on the shock mounts is right about 13".

The recommended shocks from the manufacturer have an extended length of 13.25. I really don't see how a 1/4" of extension past the ride height would be good at all....it seems like they should have at least a couple inches of travel in the downward direction as well as the upward direction.

So how should I proceed? I really don't know what to do now on picking out the right compressed/extended length/stroke for the fronts.....
