Then ordered shocks the correct length. I run 3.6" shock up front and they never bottom out and ride nice. You could put a longer shock in if you raised upper mount but that in itself isnt going to get you any more travel if lower arm still hits frame in same spot.
As for the G-body portion of my quest, what spindles are you utilizing for your car? I'm lower than you in the front but that's an "Is What It Is" thing for now until the upgraded parts are decided upon & sourced.
