Sounds like a very good reason to buy OME struts!

i'm a little rough on my truck sometimes, no problems with the extenders yet..  they better not f**k up cause that is a recipe to destroy a lot of other bits up front.

well, i ran my stuts without extensions for one year with a 1inch spacer up front, i hate the lack of travel and the clunking from topping out but if you really are worried, take your time, do it right once, the 1st time and in the end it will save you time, money and worry.
