    They are in the car, hard to measure.

    Maybe I am missing something but the only thing I see in the Moog chart that applies to the Energy Suspension chart is the inside diameter and I think that would be the least important.

    Do you really need it? Im thinking one could just put some thin sliced rubber around the top so that there isnt metal to metal contact, thus you wont raise the car at all.

    The purpose would be to raise the car.

    Well, it made it for the weekend drive. Put close to a hundred miles without a hiccup. Alternator turned out to work great! Only thing I need now for sure is a rear end crush washer and some front shocks which I hope to pick up this weekend. Oh and a good detail wouldnt hurt to get off the dust and grime off

    I used 1" square stock steel 1/4 thick from the metal supply shop in my town as spacers between the control arm. I used Moog stock insulators I just can't recall the number now. They weren't 1 inch thick they were stock, the 1 inch drop came in the spacer used.
