    Front shock lengths are .....

    646mm open

    383mm closed

    Maybe I'll just have to go with dislocation cones if I can't come up with a solution.

    Retaining top of the front springs??

    Wish I could find my excel spreadsheet I created years ago.

    Worked out all the physical limitations and had it working the calls out...

    Stock fronts are 330 closed, you're well past that...
    At 380mm you need a +50 mount or you'll potentially destroy the shock...
