You might also want to post your question on the KY state forum. Not sure there's that many War Eagle owners, but there's plenty of spider riggers & crank draggers that can give you their opinions & advice.

Springfield Kingpin or Swivl-eze .... 13" height & 4" offset (Springfield Kingpin @ ~ $38 ... Swivl-eze @ ~ $75 )
