OK this makes sense.

The standard ones come with extensions. There's a fad with horizontal body posts lately.

Which fad or which posts? It doesn't matter what posts you use, but there's been a trend over the last year or 2 where people are mounting their rear posts horizontally. Ostensibly to lower the centre of gravity.

The extenders that come with the posts are very long, it's not a height issue.

I've asked around and the chassis ride height should be approx 4.8
I can't manage to go lower than 6.
If i keep turning the shock ring the spring is too short and moves.
What am i doing wrong??

Keep going until you get the desired ride height. After you've done that, adjust the droop screws (big chunky set screws in the arms that limit suspension travel) to reduce the amount that the arms drop. With the correct amount of droop and ride height, the springs should be the right length.
