So any of those 'performance' shocks, with the adjustable preload for an elite should work then? correct?

But without any mod.
I believe KMcC said that an elite shock will fit a spree. so a performance elite shock, should as well fit a spree.

I know a SB50 is drop in and gives a couple inches.

Those performance shocks are often wider (or the adjustment collar on the bottom stick out) and they really hinder tire clearance. All my friends with aftermarket shocks have grooved tires.
