This is my prelim way of thought at this point....

At 13" between shock mounting holes, the car is basically sitting level. So even at this point here, if I install the shock from SV, the shock will be installed at full extended length. There's no travel whatsoever left in the down direction.

Having said that, I would still like to raise the front a touch....and I wouldn't be able to do that.

In my mind, I need a shock with an extended length of about 15".
