You made spacers for the back to fit, no?

Yes, did not want to get longer springs: 1" spacers in the back, sitting above the shock mount (between mount and tub) and .5" in front, sitting under the drop link bracket.

I "think" that the difference with having shorter bodies, is that you have less available travel, but with stiff springs there's not much travel needed?

Here's what they look like.

Turns out that spacers were probably not needed in front since I would have had enough thread to raise the bottom perch.
