I measured these a month or two ago and I want to say that they are 2.09-2.11", Basically, they are too big for standard coilover conversion kits(which is why I measured them). Kyle Sit tight, I will remeasure to make sure. |

Kyle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Thank you Kyle! Yes...you're right on the money. I would like to install a coil over kit with adjustable perches. Paragon has a kit for $240 which would include a pair of 200# springs that would slide over the Konis...I believe he said thier coil overs are 54mm in diameter. Campbells is suppose have the stuff I would need pretty cheap. I would really like to finda way to use my brand new 200# springs from Renegade. Most people use Bilsteins, I have yet to find anyone that has done this with Konis. |

Most people use Bilsteins, I have yet to find anyone that has done this with Konis. Just found this on another thread: Call Jason at Paragon - He should know about your shocks... I have some older rear Konis that the outside diameter of the shock is 55mm - The newer rear shocks are 50mm - The sleeves for the the newer shocks will not fit the 55mm OD shocks, but the sleeve made for older shock probably will fit the newer shocks - (being too big) I don't know the age of your shocks, but it looks like this is what happend to you - Just my .02 - Thom If I understand this correctly, the kit Paragon sells will only work on the newer Konis? I spoke to Jason and told him I had the early ones and he was pretty sure they would fit....but I'm questioning that statement the more I read. |
