Pink springs, and shorter rod ends. Put the shock in the top hole, last one towards the center of the car. With the longer rod ends you have essentially created a longer shock.

I'm stumped ..... unless these are too tall, not sure how to get that low without going back to the stock shocks. I will get the calipers out tonight

By chance, are you sure your big bores are 3.5'' and not the 4'' ones? I dont recall if you mentioned what ones they were thats why I ask.

mikemcE · 12-09-2016, 06:04 AM

I think 4", not sure anymore
I'm wondering if the front are longer
Are the shafts the difference or the bodies ?

Eye to eye measurement cap to shaft end. The bodies are different lengths as well as shafts but eye to eye is what we always talk about.

cboggs · 12-09-2016, 02:01 PM

They look like the 4" ones to me, which makes them even longer with the cap mod plus the longer rod end.

mikemcE · 12-09-2016, 02:16 PM

If they are 4 will they work ?

mikemcE · 12-09-2016, 02:59 PM

Measured .... Rears are 3.5" no cap mod, fronts are 4" with cap mod 4.25"
That explains a bit.....
I'm going to reverse them for now, I'm stumped on the different sizes, I must have had a senior moment.... Coronas strike again !!

84yoda · 12-09-2016, 03:42 PM

No, I would leave them. Stock fronts are 4" and rears are 3.5". I'm pretty sure you can buy new caps if you want. Or limit them inside, or just buy another pair of 2660 3.5" and swap over your caps. I'm sure you can use that 4" later on down the road. And remember you can get shorter bent rod ends too, rc4wd sells a bag or dlux sells them in two's.

mikemcE · 12-09-2016, 06:16 PM

Thought the 2660 are 3.75"

Hang up and Drive

84yoda · 12-09-2016, 07:08 PM

2660 = 3.5"
2661 = 3.75"
2662 = 4"

mikemcE · 12-09-2016, 08:28 PM

Well I'm confused by sizing, but numbers check .
I'm picking up a pair of 2660's and will transfer parts to them and the 4" will go back to the slash.
My dlux knuckles are shipped and will be here Monday
So I will try LHS tomorrow if not order up !

Now, you just need a KR4 rear axle.
