I just took a look at my Gecko, my shocks attach the the lower link at 2" from the eye center where it attaches to the lower part of the frame. It sounds like at about the same place as yours. I am using 4" stock Maxx shocks on it and I get just under 90d articulation. How much actual travel will the shocks you have provide? I can post some pics of my setup, if you think it would help.

you could also put limiting straps on it to lower your ride height. i believe i have some extra maxx shocks laying around but i won't be back to long island until around march 22nd.
