My advice: Measure the strut tube diameter both in metric and imperial. You then can buy the sleeve to suit. There are metric inside diameters and imperial inside diameters. If you measure 2.00 inch then buy a 2.00 inch id sleeve. Cut only enough out of the tube to suit the shock of choice if you have to. Then use the fact that the ride height will be adjustable to get the lower control arm parallel to the ground. Should not need to use an RCA. If you use a shorter shock body and doing above will give you good suspension bump and rebound travel. Otherwise you are likely to run on the bump stops when lowered to the height of choice. Make sure each sleeve has two lock nuts, a spring seat and a top hat to suit. The sleeve maker will advise what id spring to use. Regards Rodger [Report message to a moderator]
