    I believe he's putting his axle at full bump with the shocks collapsed and drawing an arc with a pen through the top shock mount, then drooping out his leafs and drawing an arc with the shocks extended. The arcs should intersect somewhere and thats where you would mount the top of the shock.
    His don't intersect which is weird.

    What pack are you running and what length shocks?
    EDIT: how much travel are you trying to get also?
    Your droop with only the main leaf will be different than with all the leafs, unless you are restricting it or know how much travel you are supposed to get.

    sry for the late response, i got a hold of jason and got it handled, i wasn't acounting how much extra droop i had, my cage was right in the way of where the shocks need to go so it turned into a project none the less but should be done tomarow, but i learned i had them 5 1/4" mounted to low!
