What did you use to remove the shocks? I have a lot of small hex drivers but none seem to fit well and I am afraid to strip the holes with incorrect driver.

I have finally found a hex driver that fit the shock mounts. With that I was able to move the suspension to the lower mounts.

i actually run mine in the upmost mounts but if you want to maintain the same wheelbase i have some pics of an easy, free, nonpermanent mod to the axles

all you do is swap a couple parts around
