So I am thinking about fabbing up a set of lift rods. Please don't start flaming me for this. I want to get the LR3 a little taller to fit some larger tires in. The question I have is about the rod length. I know I have to shorten the rods to make the air bags lift, but how much do I shorten them? If anyone has first hand experience with this or has a set of the Johnson Rods that they could measure next to the stock rods that would great. Thanks guys!

Happen to have a set in front of me that I just took of a truck yesterday, ft measures 2 7/8 from eye to eye and rr is 4 1/4 eye to eye. I don't konw who made these but they do look manufactured not home made.
