Thanks for the clarifications Ian. As I said, I am somewhat ignorant with independent suspensions so I try to preface my comments that way. Better than talking out my ass.

If Bilstein advertises this shock as correct length then I see your problem. When you guys do lifts, do you extend the shocks like we do on solid axles?

But the shock is advertised as being the correct length when compressed, it is not, and I verified this with Bilstein today.
Bilstein measures the shock length to the top of the boot, not to the mounting location like Nissan does.
