Crate engines

It wasn't even good enough to use with an air gun to blow out dust and crap out of the engine bay. ...

Its long reply but a good answer to your debate.

We compared the Suburban in stock trim with the 6-inch IFS lift from RCD and the ORU 6-inch live-axle conversion. In stock trim the Suburban would easily drag its rocker panels on bumps in the trail.

Can anyone please tell me how to work out what height I need to mount my shocks, they are longer travel than the original setup? I'm not sure how high to make my shock hoops. Is...
