I'm running standard albeit heavy duty gas ones on the back of mine. It's low to say the least.

Hey DR I have a similar height on my FE-I have cut the bump stops down and with standard gas replacement shocks it bottoms pretty easy,using flipped 4 leaf spring and 40mm lowering blocks.

How much travel does yours have and did you use lowering blocks as well?

Not much! Has about an inch of travel. I'm running inch and a half blocks and I've added an extra leaf so with the heavy duty shocks it's a firm ride.
