The wet ones have a slightly different angle from the knuckle joint socket to the spring/displacer.

You can certianly us the wet ones. It does change the spring rate and you may need to adjust the length of the rear trumpets to get ride height. Nothing that hasn't been done many times over. Steve (CTR)

Use the wet ones and benefit from the added bumpstops that are there. Upgrade them and you will be in even better shape;-)

Are you asking for a used set in rebuildable condition, a set rebuilt with new rear kits or NOS really new ones? Do you have your wet arms? My e mail address is in my profile. There may be other things I can help you with Steve (CTR)

You can use the wet ones. I know this because I have wets on my Traveller. The only difference I can see is the location of the brake hose from on top to on the bottom. The dry brake hose is barely long enough.
