Need a suspension measurement.

[Turbo11T]

I am working on putting together a rev chassis. I need the measurment from the middle of the rear axle to the mounting bolt on the rail for the rear arm off a 162 or 159 summit or rt1000. I have a 01 151 suspension and I want to move the arm and all components forward about 4-5 inches. I believe that they did that on the newer suspension. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Also please include with your measurements the center to center measurement for the front to rear arm mounting on the tunnel. Hopefully someone can help. i would just go measure one myself if it was close. So if you live in southern mn somewhat near lake crystal let me know. Thanks

anyone

doesn't have to be exact. a tape measure mesurement will do. Someone has to have a rt 1000 with a 162 and a tape measure?

I think you would want the dimension between the front tq arm mount and rear scissor mount.

The Revs are pretty much all the same distances on 144-159s, the length being different behind the rear scissor.

The 01 rails you have will be longer from the front tip to where the tq arm mounts. You can put the arms the same distances apart and move the skid back about a inch to clear the drivers.

I had installed 01 rails in a 03.5 summit a few years ago and moved the rear scissors forward about 2.5". It wasn't exact and I think I moved it one way or the other some after measuring a REV.
