That is a very nice kit for the price. Looks like a good replacement for the now expensive Crane 10308 package .

With .100" thick locators and standard height locks in the kit.... probably 1.70-1.74 depending on the retainer design.

That's .100" less than the recommended 1.810" and would limit lift to .560" and have a butt load of seat pressure. I was inquiring about the actual measured height.

He gave an educated guess, not the actual measurement.

Coilbind spec is 1.100. order a cheap 20 dollar set of +.050" 7° machine locks and you'll be in.better shape.

Seat pressure is what hydraulic rollers need more of anyways to control seat bounce which is where most HR's struggle with higher rpm.
