twins + shock towers

What do folks typically do with large shock towers and twins to shoehorn them all in there? Ive got thurens king shocks and towers on the truck.
The wastegate on my S300 is already banging the side of my shock tower, this sucks!

Depending on your arrangement, that shouldn't be an issue. Most compound set-ups flip the manifold and will move your s300 away from the tower. There is plenty of room for stuffing a non-gated primary between the tower and even the trans heat exchanger.

I chose to make flat shock plates and run 2wd shocks with my second gen when I owned it. Made a huge difference

In my opinion, just as awful as it did before

I didn't notice any difference in ride quality

Whats is the difference in length of the shock body itself between the 4wd and 2wd. Is it at least 2 inch shorter.

Yes, I think I used a 1" inverted spacer if you will on a stock height truck. On a leveled truck I would probably go negative 2" or 3". If I remember correctly
