Suspension issue - 05.22.2009, 02:56 PM

On my Savage X build I used warhead shock towers and shocks. The issue is that if I use the middle mount position on the tower, the shocks bottom out a good half inch before the chassis bottoms out. This is obviously not good as I dont want to destroy my shocks. If I move the shocks to the upper mount position on the tower, the chassis and shocks bottom out at about the same point which is good, but then I lose all my droop (ride height) and the suspension arms sit pretty close to level when the truck is off the ground. This is because of a combination of the shock length and tower height Im assuming...

How can I fix this so that the chassis bottoms out before the shocks, AND I still have droop to spare in the arms? If I get shorter shocks, that will fix the bottoming out, but then Ill still have the droop problem...?
