I didn't mean to say fall right out. I meant loose enough to break the spring seat and just kind of sitting there

Oh, yeah that'll happen. But there's no issue with that because our rear springs dont have a specific rotational orientation that they need to "sit" in. They'll re-seat once the suspension comes back down. There's technically no difference between 1/8" of clearance and 1" of clearance as long as they're retained.
This picture was taken with my rear shocks still attached. I pulled down the upper isolator to measure the bump stop mount:
This picture is with the rear extended about 2" beyond where my 27.5" shocks will let the axle extend to. At this point, I would definitly be concerned with the spring coming out!
also remember, when I make you those 1/2" spacers that'll take up any space you see now at full extension. I'm planning on running 1" spacers which will take up almost all of that extra space shown in the first pic I posted.
Nice. I could use the extra 1/2 inch spacer in the rear. I hate how my XK sits now that the front end is higher.

Were theese the shocks you mentioned to me?
Just measured the OME rear shock I have waiting to be installed, it measures just over 27" from mounting point to mounting point, not sure if thats where it should be measured but just to give an idea..
