the rear ride height as far as the shock is concerned can be determined by measure and subtract for a "close" measurement.

the front is a little different… I'm sure the 210 will work fine

Drag radials are off now.

I was just getting ready to order the shocks when my card got a fraud alert. Now I need to wait until next week after I get my replacement. 2nd time in a month. :S
It looks like the t-bar for the lower mount will need to be drilled for the 4" spacing.

I still need to figure out a solution for the rear upper shock mount

I ordered from Summit. I didn't see your link until after I ordered.

Yes, it's 4" bolt to bolt. Viking & QA1 only offer t-bar mounts of 3.5" & 5". GWEE confirmed with his QA1s he got the 5" t-bar and had to modify it.

You've posted that you have all these parts. Have you installed them? Have you run into any issues?

I haven't installed yet, I got Everythin in 2 weeks ago and it's been cold as **** so I haven't got to it yet. I got the wrong flip kit also, need to send t back and exchange.

That sucks on the t-bar, I was unaware on that
