I honestly don't know. I will need to get into the attic and look. I want to say like 4.5 inches though. I guess it is the width that makes it so it won't fit under a cowl hood. I am just hoping it is wrong. If it doesn't fit, I may keep it for another car. Or who knows, it may get sold for something else.

Everything they had to sell. Uppers,lowers,springs sway bars,shocks,steering box,billet steering linkage,tall ball joints,sub frame connectors,and g bars. I blew all my taxes on them. OOPS. I have to get the spindals off my other car before I can put them on though. I spent all day putting a fuel pump in my pick up yesterday, now its pouring.
