Redoing the front suspension of a street tracker that I know the tubes and damper rods have been shortened. I can kinda guess from the new for tubes, but does anyone know the length of original damper rods. Saw other discussion about thread, mine are 3/8 -24 Do you think 6061 aluminum rod would take the loud instead of 3/8 steel?
 
The overall length of the damper rod is 505 mm. (Unless you want more detail)

The damping force on compression might have alloy bending or at the least deflecting which might cause a problem at the damper upper bush including galling perhaps (unlike a polished steel rod)
