Default Can we fit the shorter dogbone on the LS4?
I've searched and come up with a few threads, but no conclusive answer if it works with out cars or not.

Does anyone have any info on if it fits or not?

Thanks

Why would you want a shorter dogbone? That would rotate the engine farther forward and maybe put more strain on the other mounts.

Just wondering...

i had looked into this before.. i quit after i got the assumption that theyr best applied on lowered cars.. otherwise yes, more strain
but i beleive they will fit, dont see why they wudnt, would probably have to put the car in neutral and somehow rock it forward a bit? idk?? lol

Agreed. Have to find an interesting combination of tools to pry with to get just the right angle.

It definitely comes in a pair.

I also ordered the rear poly dogbone mount that came in a pair if you're interested in that as well.
