Birth of the Blue Missile

Got the steering linkage set up, Ill weld it when the motor is test fitted.
Denny,
is this where the upper shock mounts are supposed to go? If so Ive screwed up. there is only 3/4" of upper travel to the 5/8" bumpstop and no downward travel the shock is at full extension. Its 13.5" fully extended, 12" ride height which was what I thought I was supposed to get. Where did I go wrong?
