Ride Tech (formerly Air Ride) is not too far from me. I talked to the
right guy. Tony Bicknell helped supply Hall with his. I thought I would
post the info for those interested.

The correct shock is:
Shockwave #21150801

14.5" ride height
11.56 - 16.66" range

This is perfect. I was measuring suspension today and came up with a 14.5"
ride height and a range of 12.5-16".

It comes with sleeves for 5/8 or 1/2 bolts. Since the shock is metric it
will need to be drilled or sleeved. It is very close to half. It would
need a little bit of shim left and right.

I will not be using these a-arms but I went ahead and threw one on just
for reference. The fit is good:

I finished my drawing today for the jig to build my a-arms. I should have
them laser cut within the week so I should start posting the
suspension/power steering build/assembly here soon:
