What am I doing wrong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aany001]

Well I was welding in my upper rear shock mounts in my 69 camaro with DSE mini tub kit and noticed that when I install the shock its almost bottomed right out at ride height.It only has about 2" of travel before it hits the bump stop.I am using DSEs Koni mini tub shocks.Where have I gone wrong??? I hope someone can shed some light on this.Thanks in advance.
