    Actually you want a 8 or a 10". When i had my bolt in coilovers, a 10" worked fine but a tad long.

    Get an 8" or 10" with a clevis so you can adjust.

    When I was running my donahoe's in the front I remember somebody saying that those coilovers come with some kind of internal droop stop. You can call, its been too long to remember. But Id run the straps either way.

    interesting, because I'm reading direct from their website...

    absolutely no mention of an additional upcharge if you want to build it, because its required...

    Yeah they're prolly pretty old, they haven't done the blue tubes for a while and why is a shaft bump missing? Hard hit? Seems a little pricey
