I installed my Fox Savvy TJ valved shocks this week. The rear travel is 5 3/4” up and 3 1/3 down. If I want to get the bias closer to 50/50, would bar pin eliminators be a good option? What other options are there besides moving the lower mount?
 
BPE's will move your upper mounting point down about 3/4". Where would your shocks be at full bump with BPE's? Pressing out the bar pin and pressing the metal sleeve is a PITA,FYI.

If BPE’s lower it 3/4”, it would make my Bias closer to 5 up and 4 down. Better. I don’t look forward to pressing in or out. 🙄
 
I installed the Tera BPE's for similar reasons, and yes, the sleeves are a pain to install.
 
I pressed the bar pin partially out, then cut that end off with a cutoff wheel flush to the shock bushing. I then put the sleeve against the cut off portion of the bar pin and pressed the sleeve in going the other direction. If you don't have the bar pin keeping the ID of the bushing open you won't be able to start the sleeve into the hole.
