I've cut them off and installed a prefabricated relocator kit, but not made my own.

I have.
I cut them off, lengthened them, and welded them back on, but such that they aren't bottom out when the axle is.

Re: 62rear shock change???
I've run Monroe Blacks before, and they valved decent. They aren't a racing shock, but I'd buy them again.
I would avoid Monroe Blue. WAY too soft.
