The only problem with that steering setup is that as you turn, the tires will toe in and your ackerman will suck.

I had the same problem...it's not the shocks themselves--its the binding (shock cap hitting the frame at articulation) causing the pop-off. I had to limit my travel by using plastic tubing inside the shock....so far it looks good.

Yeahm its a good idea to limit the travel on the shocks anyway, they have way to much to start with. I think mine are down to about half on my edge and less than that on my comp rig.

So did you take the bump stops off and put them inside or leave them on the shaft?

You need to run them inside the shock on top of the piston to get the correct ride height on that chassis.
