Mounting Shocks

I am trying to find out the best place to mount my shocks for ride quality. I have a 4 link setup, is it better to mount my shocks from the frame to my lower 4 link bars or frame to axle?

That depends on how the shocks are valved. If they are on the stiffer side, you can get away with mounting them to the bars. But if they are softer, the rearend is a better choice.

Also on a side note, the further that you lay the shocks over, the less affective they will be.

Sweet thanks for the help
