Using the stock shock plate for my rear shocks. While swapping in a fresh set of SS springs on my E-Body, I noticed the rear shocks are about an inch shy of fitting back on with the springs at full sag (rear end hang down with full extension of the springs).

Is this something I should correct or does it matter?
