I made a strut with heims on each end to replace the shock, so I could measure my desired ride height, That way I could get the correct spring height. Cobras do not have much travel or articulation. You can make a strut like I did out of our sprint car parts & used heims, or buy a couple from Speedway Motors, in Lincoln Nebraska.

I also used a set of digital weigh scales on all for corners, with the struts, to adjust the ride height, and got it pretty damn close to equal weight bias, front to back/corner to corner. Worked very well.
