I'm getting ready to replace my rear shocks and springs (110lb.) Where would the best position for the perch be?

Ditto for me. 3rd from the last meaning third from the bottom.

no... different springs are different lengths... I had to play with mine... I started with them on the 2nd from bottom, had to move up 2 just to keep the tire from scraping...
