Personally I wouldn't bother with the shock. The idea of the torque rod is to keep the axle from rotating forward. The shock will slow it (maybe) but not stop it from rotating. Before I did crossover (in a time long long ago) I extended my torque rod so that it mounted out by the spring hanger. It kept it from having brake steer and I gained somemore travel. But like the other guys said, the best solution is cross over steering.
