Duster Rear shocks too short w/XHD Leaf

They look like they will be close to bottoming out (or very limited upward travel at the very least) when the suspension is loaded.

You do not use your unloaded suspension as a reference for shock length.

I am not sure if I completely agree on this. Here are some pictures of the car on the ground and there is still alot of travel remaining on the shocks. Granted, the fuel tank and 16 gallons of fuel are not in there, but even still, there is a lot of travel remaining. I even got myself and my neighbor, both 220+lbs a piece sitting on the back of the car and the suspension was flexing nicely, but never bottomed out once. When I got the shocks, the shafts were completely retracted (no chrome showing). The stance also looks pretty good with a nice gap in the rear wheelwell. Any other thoughts on this?
