d'oh.. Uh oh.

Rancho doesn't make a 10" travel shock, 14" short and 24" long?

And that's with a "conventional" reverse shackle and 4" springs?

I wonder what'll happen when I do my 4" springs w/ Bill Thebert's Buggy
Spring reverse shackle (Bill, have you managed to make any measurements yet?)

Hmm..

Does Rancho make significantly LONGER shocks, or.. ?  If it's just a size
issue.. 

The front can be relocated higher up on the frame.  I planned to move the
mounts up higher, *and* add a second set, and use some (somewhat) cheaper
RS5000s..
