Just got through rebuilding front & rear suspension with new springs bushings and everything but i cant install the rear shocks because the rear end is too high.shocks are extended all the way but like about one inch to bolt up.should be okay after i put the body back on because of the weight but not sure.The front end also looks strange because after springs and shocks were installed i noticed that the upper control arm has the upper rubber bumper compressed.will these be okay after motor and body weight is added? :confused:

The front end will go down with the motor in. When I had the motor removed, it topped out the suspension.

Are you saying the rear end is too low to connect the shock? That should be ok. I think the rear end kinda hangs by the shocks.
