So if you know the ride height,(top mount to the bottom mount) what is the number that needs to be subtracted to get the proper shock length? I would want to go with the stud mount on the top.

iregret said:Well, first off, I need an alignment bad.
I think it's silly how good the front suspension is compared to the rear. I was playing with it off camber a bit, ramping over the bumps on the edge of my parents driveway. It just absorbs it. I can jump up and down on the front bumper and there's more travel than it's ever had. I think the liner way a coil spring works is better than the twisting way a torsion bar works.
Like I said, I need to get it aligned. When the ride height is exactly where I want it, I'll drill the lower a-arms and install some bumpstops. I can't really do that until I'm 100% sure the height is correct. I may need to trim the bumpstops I bought.
A guy on PT just finished doing this swap on his RCSB and this is what he had to say about it:
The sale im having ends on Tuesday!
I wonder if he has drop spindles. Been looking for the article on PT. could one of you post the link please. It's gotta be way better then the T-bars. Regardless of the sale I will be purchasing a set sometime!

Yes he does. McGaughy's drop spindles. Read his thread, unless he changed them out, but did not see a mention of it.
