I have the shocks set up in the middle holes on the shock tower and the a arms. Any advice would be great as far as if this is a common problem, are there any hop up parts like alluminum shock ends people are using. Any help would be appriciated. When I compress the rear end it bottoms out before the shocks, so it must be landing a bit off camber that is causing it, but it has to be set up. Also, does anyone run a bumper on the shock shaft to help with compressing the shock to far?
