If a person were to raise the lower shock mount up about the lower control mount height (up out of harms way), say one and one half an inch to two inches. Would it be safe to assume that the shock would have to be shorter by that amount?

JBA had some brackets that did that waaayyyy back in the day |

These are the ones we used. Have the bracket sit level and the ears pointed down, worked perfect for a 4" lift and "stock lenght" shocks. No pics, as that was long time ago.
