Hi Rey,

Actually I'm good for now too since I have spacers in the front for both lift and to lower the strut. I'm just doing the lengthening experiments for other people to use. After I lengthen them and document the process, I will rebuild them at stock or 1/2 inch longer than stock.

To keep on topic, I just found an electric cooling fan that I was going to put on my Isuzu pickup. I was looking to see if it would fit the Sportage and it looks like a go. I might be able to make brackets next week.
