We are running the forward shock/ant. post mount in the same relative position as on the old chassis with the shock longer. You may need longer ball cups for the shock. Set the length so you have about .5mm of pod droop, i.e so that with a straight edge on the bottom of the chassis the hinge point between the rear pod and main chassis is ~.5mm off the straight edge.
