I haven't installed the struts yet - I was just testing them to see if they will fit. With my lift coils and spacer in the front I won't get much more up travel out of the suspension so I will leave the bump stops in place for now. I do need to lower my front diff before installing the new struts as they will give me more drop so that is holding up the project for now as I try do decide what I want to there. Zukination sells their drop brackets separately but for the tune of almost $200. That kind of defeats the whole idea of this project - more travel for not alot of $$$.

I have pushed my struts to the last 1/4" of travel with spacers, spring pad mod., taller springs, even taller springs (no spacer), 2" spacer on top of struts. Finally cut down my tallest springs (1/4" travel left on spacer). So I was hoping you had found a cheaper longer strut. It still appears that OME is be$t way to get the two more inches of extended travel. While "
That kind of defeats the whole idea of this project - more travel for not alot of $$$." the struts you have found DO NOT EXTEND TRAVEL, without more modifications, which you could do to your present struts. With your lifts you are probably only using the extended half of your struts. And running in the middle of strut range with room for both drop and compression is what would be best.
When you drop your diff, you will find that you have to lower your skid pan for clearance, and there goes half the height of the lift. (Still looks and works better, and can run larger tires.)
All that seems to endless, I NEED SOME TRAIL TIME.
