Iwould wait till the car is fully together its surprising how much more weight you have left to put in that car sit it on the wheels, the shocks look long enough otherwise your springs must have to much arc in them,,,,,,,,,,,

Mr Gasket make a bolt on shock extension which will sort you out.

Shock extensions or longer shocks. But like Dunc says, wait until the car is at it's full weight.

You don't want the shocks to extend fully during normal suspension travel.

I used extensions on my Chally for a while but then got QA1 shocks that were longer (and a much better shock anyway).

Try loosening the leaf spring clamps and see if the car settles a little bit more. May be they are too tight and arn't allowing the spring to move.

you need the full weight ,mine were like that ,but with the axle stands at the front of the car and the engine infront of them the car is unbalanced ,jacking up the axle wont push the axle up into the car .drop it all on the deck and then jack up the axle ,and I bet they fit with ease

makes sence to me anyway

or these two in the boot will help
