I'm using all comp stuff for my build. For length, I bought a comp shelling rod and solid lifter. The seat height on the hydraulic is 2.49 and the Solid is 2.01. When measuring with the solid roller, I just add .48 to make up for the difference. I've heard that different companies may measure a tiny bit different, possibly giving you a variation of .1 on the measurements. Stick with one brand and you'll be fine. Just requires a little math
