with those blocks on there and stock shocks, it's no wonder they bottomed out, they geometry is all screwed up... the shocks are practically laying over like that, how could they possibly work optimally? the shorter shocks you used are definitely the way to go with that
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
