They will still be quite short for that lift. Read this article, very good one.

You may be able to find some arms that have alot of adjustability and crank them to the maximum length and notice a bit of improvement but you could save a couple more bucks and just get long arms from RE. I think you can purchase the arms and brackets separate.

I told you in my first response to your question and several have confirmed it, long arms are the only true solution unless you return to stock height. Those are the only way that ride quality is going to return. Of the brands that are mentioned the RE and TnT are the better quality of long arms.

Do a write up when you do the longarm conversion.
I have read about them and seen several but never was involved in their installation. Not going tall enough to need them anytime soon but would love to get my hands dirty doing a set. You need any help. I could come help and go visit Mickey too.

Took the grandkids last spring and my grandaughter want to return very badly. Grandson was really too young at 3 but he is growing fast and will surely be ready by the spring.

That is the problem with proximity. It seems like a daily activity. Where for us we have been 3 times sins '74 and have loved it everytime. But I would rather go help you put on the long arms while the wife takes the kids to see Mickey and Goofey.
