If they don't my girlfriend will kill me ...

First of all, she is your girl friend.  At this point in your relationship she has absolutely no legal right, or obligation to kill you.  That would be both unethical and illegal.  Once you marry.... she can then legally kill you.  That's the rules.  I don't make these rules up... I just try to abide by them.

Second of all, you are NEVER too old to own a "4WD truck".  Especially a GV/Tracker.  Never buy into this thought.  They are manly vehicles and practical as well. Lets face it... they are babe magnets too!  I've seen many a male fall into a mid-life crisis and go out and buy a BMW convertible (etc).  These trucks are very practical.  Always remember... these trucks are fun to own!!!   It's like a great marriage.  Sometimes it is just a love/hate thing.  When the rough waters pass... and they always do you'll be tooling down a trail with a big grin on your face.

Those sound like words of wisdom to me!

Well, the 215's are on and .......... *drum roll*........ they fit!

To be honest they are almost too small.... The truck looks a little odd; lifted with little itty bitty mud tires sticking way out the sides. But I'm sure I'll adjust, I'm just happy to have my full turning radius back.

The only bad news is that well changing tires I noticed my right front strut is completely blown out, looks like it could break into two pieces at any second. 
:'(  it never ends.....

Anywho, thanks for all the input guys!

I've never had a bit of trouble with my driver side strut... but I'm on my 3rd passenger side strut.  Don't know what the dealie is with it.

Well, i hope i'm not wasting my money by replacing both of them.

I figured they've both been through the same punishment, might as well do them both.

Do you think it's worth doing the upper strut mounts too??

I dunno if this holds true where you are, but down here, the passenger side strut will usually fail before the driver's side strut - I've had it happen twice, and the reason that it happens is the holes are usually along the edge of the road, so the passenger side strut works harder and is more likely to blow out in a pot hole - at least that's what I was told, and, given local road conditions, it made sense.

That's the ONLY conclusion I have come to also, Fordem.  Samuriadan I don't think you can go wrong replacing both of your struts when one fails.  I only replaced my defective strut the first time but on the second failure I replaced them both because the original had about 50K on it at that time (but was still working flawlessly).  NO, unless your upper strut mounts are torn or damaged (or bonded/frozen to the shaft of your old struts) I wouldn't replace them.  They are very tough and durable.
