Welcome aboard here.   :wave:

That's a good question you asked. In my case, I lifted the rear and had KYB shocks. I had no problems getting them on. I know I didn't answer your question, but I think all shocks are made of equal length, so you have reason to believe the edelbrock shocks will fit.

I agree that they'll probably work in normal conditions, my concern is if you ever go over a big bump and the lifted springs cause the shocks to go to full extension violently enough to brake either or both of your shocks or damage where they're mounted to the body and/or rear mounting plates.  Ideally, under most circumstances you don't want the shock going to full extension on a regular basis.  I'm not saying that's going to happen, but its something to be aware of. 

I've got a set of Ede IAS shocks to go on the Barracuda, how do you like yours?

Later, Jim
