Sorry no, but it isn’t that simple. The stock rods take advantage of the large rubber bushings, they’re typically not exactly the right length. But that’s “ok”, because the flex in the rubber bushings keeps them from binding up the LCA too badly.
With adjustable strut rods, there is zero give. The strut rod has to be adjusted so that there is no binding on the LCA as it moves through it’s range of travel. The advantage to the adjustable strut rods is that when they’re adjusted properly, they reduce the binding/friction you get from the strut rod working against the factory bushings as the LCA travels up and down. And they keep the LCA from flexing forward and backward by compressing/stretching the large factory strut rod bushings to move around. The disadvantage is that if you don’t tune the length of the strut rod, checking the LCA for binding as it moves through it’s range of travel and making adjustments to the length of the strut rod as well as the angle on the front heim you can introduce more binding.
