sounds good. i'm puttin the spacers on too.... after you flip the strut mount do yuo still have to buy a longer strut?

No. The strut mount flip re-locates the strut's range back to where it needs to be. If you want longer suspension travel, you need to get longer struts (OME is the only one I know of - I have them and love them) and longer springs (I have OME and love them, or you can get Ford 4x4 ranger / Honda Accord springs).

Jeremiah,  I have two questions for you... one, where is a good place to buy OME stuff?  Does ARB distribute them?  Second, what more can you tell me about ranger springs?  What year Ford ranger and how much longer are they?  I am trying to put together the most economical 2" susp lift I can.  Thanks!

I ENDED UP INSTALLING SPRINGS FROM A JEEP XJ. There is real good lift but the ride is very hard. I flipped the front strut mount and used the stock strut. I am not happy with the springs but they were freebes. I am now going to a local truck spring shop and getting  some springs of the same material as stock custom twisted.  Still saerching for longer front struts at the local napa store. Will keep ya posted
