Yep, you're gonna have to fabricate a mount with several different mounting holes in it (too much work) or wait until you get the weight on the car to fabricate your mounts. Once you do have the weight on the car, collapse the shock to its shortest length, then extend it fully and measure the total travel. Let's say it is 3 3/4 inches for example. Multiply 3.750 times 0.55 and that will be the amount you will want to extend the shock from its fully collapsed position in order to mount it on the car. In other words, for this example, let's say the total collapsed length of the shock might be 10 inches and its total extended length will be 13 3/4 inches. Using this example, 3.750 times 0.55 equals 2.0625" (two and one-sixteenth inches). Extend the shock rod by 2 1/16 from its fully collapsed length of 10 inches and you will mount the shock in the car at a total shock length of 12 1/16 inches.
in other words about 1/2 way, or split the def. as we say down here "thats close enough" but to be on the safe side do it the way techinspector1 said.
