Reid Racing Steering knuckles

thats what the dude said and when I called RK about lengths kind of makes sense. My bodies are 8”, I believe the short ones were 7 or 6...when you get a chance measure the body on yours for shits and giggles.

Yeah, it's been awhile since I had a tape anywhere near them. I'll do that in the daylight tomorrow.

The shorter ones are 7” between the jam nuts. My shocks are at 31” extended and I’m adjusted to 10-3/4” eye to eye. Assuming yours droops a little more with the 6 pks, I’d say you’d be good at 11.5”.

Fully stuffed I was hitting inner fender, but that was mostly because I shimmed them out to not rub on resi hose. I’ve since notched for hose, no more issues. Also I turned the bolt around on the top to get a little extra clearance.

Your gonna love these , there is essentially no difference in droop hooked to the sway bar or unhooked. Here’s couple pics of ride height, stuffed, and extended.

That's where my confusion was. They look like they're more than 1" difference on their product pages. They mention lift heights, but not their own lengths.

I have the smaller 7's, and are extended as far as they'll go before not have enough threads engaged. I could definitely use that extra inch, and it has nothing to do with my being Irish. The flex of the 6-packs is ridiculous. I may even switch to the 4.5" lift coils that Metalcloak is supposedly coming out with. These shocks and the upper relocation brackets make it too easy to unseat the springs.

And, pics as promised.

Edit to add: I measured the total length of my adjustment at roughly bolt centers, which has it at 11.25".

Thanks for the info guys, yeah mine are 8.25 body and a lot of thread on the heims. When I did my hydro bumps I set them to almost max out the compression on the 6 paks disregarding sway links and tire rub as I can dial that in if needed. In hind sight I should have connected the sways and installed the tires but was pressed for time and didn’t have the links on hand at the time. With the hydro bumps I must of gained 1-2” compression. Going to play with the rear next, the uptravel really helps when out in the desert.

I’m going to have to unfollow this thread. I feel like I’m getting sucked into the rabbit hole and I don’t want to cry when I look at my credit card bill...

Yes, and it’s also the most difficult. But once over that hump no f’s given.

 

[KansasJL]

I can’t justify coilovers. I’m in the middle of flat Kansas
