Hi Mac, you need to start measuring the installed hgts with the new springs and whatever retainers/locks you have on hand.

You won't really be able to tell much by "sight", you need (reasonably) exact numbers in this area.

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. We work with various springs, retainers, and locks on different platforms. Occasionally we use the locks that give a .050" shorter installed hgt, and we also use some that give a .050" taller hgt. Depends mostly on the spring pkge combo and the "target" pressure!
