if you can buld a mount with more than one hole on the a arm for the shock so you can move it.this will let you fine tune the ride hight and how soft or hard it is.if your shock has 4" of travel and you mount it at the wheel you will get around 4" of wheel travel.if you mount the same shock in the center of the a-arm you will get around 8",get the idea.but when put it in the center the shock has to be stiffer to hold the buggy up.make a mount with 4 or 5 holes for the shock to fit in the a-arm and youll have it made.
for the best angle mount the shock at 90*to the a-arm at full bump.that will let the shock work with less effort.the futher from 90* the harder the shock has to work.
you may not be able to get 90* if not get as close as you can.
