Take the wheels off the car and put it on a flat surface. Pop one end of the shock off its ball stud and let it extend to full length. It should be only slightly longer than the distance between the ball studs, maybe a millimeter or two. If it's much longer you'll need to shorten one or both ball cups. You want a little bit of droop at the pod when the shock is fully extended, but not much.
