All I can tell you is to check the travel. I've had a few where I needed the extra long Sonnex pin.
You could also go with the Extendo pin and grind it to length. That's around $8.00 + shipping.
If I go with the extendo I turn it on my lathe.
I've never heard of this "Extendo" pin. For $8, it's not worth trying to rig my stock stuff. Just Googled it and saw a few examples on Amazon. Thanks for the lead!
Gotcha. How much travel you got now?
Haven't gotten under it yet. I started drilling the holes to anchor the lift and have been fighting rebar in almost every hole. Took a break for dinner and to feed the squirls and am about to get back at it.
Main thing is to check your travel and do what you need to bring it into specs.
I bought the long pin just in case as I have not checked travel at this time.
I figure I can fine tune the long pin on the lathe if I need to.
Having the pin longer than needed and fine-tuning it is my kind of thinking. I just don't have a lathe. I have other metal turning methods that, although sketchy, haven't failed me yet. Basically it's just a drill or drill press and cut-off wheel on a grinder and a really steady hand.
