How much do you weigh? Most likely the stock shock will not work good for you at that length,especially if your over 140lbs..At the least have the stock shock revalved for your weight and wheelbase,along with some fully adjustable lowering links to get it down low for you. I would also go with a flat suspension link if the funds are there.

What does the flat link do for you? seems like everytime I see one in a post someone is complaining about how harsh it made the rear suspension feel.

just learn how to adjust the stock shock. it will work at 8 over but wont be the BEST, until you can spend the $$ to buy a better one just adjust the stock one
