PLEASE HELP! Air Ride Question

I've been searching for awhile plus all day today but still no luck so i thought it'd be ok to start a thread.

My question is does anyone know the length of the rear top hat tube? Sorry if i don't know the correct term but this is the only thing holding me back from installing my air. once i get the length i can weld them to my bracket plates and i'll be good =D...

for reference but i'm sure almost all you guys know what i'm talking about here's a picture of what i mean.

Thanks in Advance for your guys response!

I'm not an expert on this, but I'm sure you can just measure this yourself with a ruler or measuring tape?

I have the plate n pipe but don't know the length to cut the pipe to weld to the plate. Still stumped for days! If any of you guys have it off maybe to sell if you can measure it for me it'd be great! Thanks

bag kits for the GS are the most simplest to install and are complete bolt on. You might want to re read your instructions. There isnt any cutting involved. If youre making your own, you can just use/measure your stock ones .

Why don't you call Zack from UAS. I'm sure he can tell you the length of the bracket. If you still can't find it through zack then pm me.

that tube, I suppose, can be as long as you want. Mine is like 2 or 3 inches. just need any size to stabilize it and stop it from moving around. 1 inch or 10 inches, as long as its not longer than the oem top hat.

If you had mentioned it was an incomplete kit earlier, you would have gotten an answer much faster
