they are height adjustable, no more excuses. drop them in the mounts until the housings touch the axles.

Don't touch the 2 collars under the spring (that adjusts preload not height). Loosen the collar at the bracket holding it on and turn the entire shock to lower. Top is pillow mount so the whole thing will spin w/o unbolting. That way shock has the same travel and you can go low low.

what shawnshawn said. loosen the spanner nut that locks the lower mount in place, thread those bad boys down until desired height is reached. the one thing to watch out for on the subie is that you don't go too far and the bottom of the shock casing hits the axle. other than that crank the top parts back up so you maintain full shock travel and proper preload. you do want to try to even out preload, so measure the distances between everything when adjusting to at least keep it even on both sides. the only right way to set preload is corner weighting, but for a DD it's not important.
