Unless you like the sound of your stock length struts bottoming out or have the cash for the OME struts

alrighty, thanks man. I do have the cash for ome but I don't really want to pay like $120 a strut or whatever. I think I'll order the extenders tonight, hopefully they don't get here too much later than the spacers and cambre bolts. anyone know of anywhere esle that sells them other than boondox? should I ask my local BDS dealer to order them? want them here fast and boondox is pretty much on the other side of the country

think I'm going to suck it up and buy the ome struts. are they really really hella nice? they better be. anyone know how much longer they are than stock?

My experience with BDS distributors and Boondox is that Boondox was 10x faster than my local distributor.  I have never seen the reloctated shock mounts on Sky's website, but I'm sure you could call and order them.  I've been learning recently that a lot of shops carry more product than is listed on their website.  Except Calmini... that lists products they don't have 

thanks for the input

my struts do the clunk clunk on rocky trails where more articulation would be good.   my front spacer is also only 1inch, i image the 1.5 gives close to .75inch more lift...  hey maplebar, how are your extensions working out?  did you get limiter straps for that cv issue you mentioned?

I am sensing I should get ome struts. I my struts may be close to needing replacing anyway. it's about $60 a strut for stock length plus I'd have to pay $45 plus shipping for extenders so by the time I do that it's not that bad paying $120 or so for an ome. since I primarily daily drive my GV I have the sway bar in and will probably keep it in cause it's quite a bit more stable with it in I think (tried without for a few months) I am thinking it might help the struts not max out the down travel as much. what my plan is will be assemble it with the stock struts and if that length works (which isn't likely) I'll just get new stock length struts. most likely it won't work out great and I'll put in some ome's. when I put in the new struts I'll also install my camber bolts and get it alighned

I think calmini is a retarted company. I called and found out the struts in thier kits are stock replacements that are supposed to be heavy duty. Why on earth would they not make them longer? duh... so I asked about the strut mount spacers and weather or not the strut bar fits with them and they have stuff in the kit that makes it fit again. I then asked if I could buy just the strut mount spacers and all the stuff I'd need to make the strut bar fit and they said they can't break up a kit like that..... they are too retarted to get my business. all I want from them is to someday get those front suspension arms and those strut mount spacers. but no, they aren't smart enough to sell individual parts.

oh well. I think I'll call sky manufacturing and see if they make strut mount spacers for GV's. if they don't which is likely I think I'll order ome struts soon. boondox is taking a while to get my stuff here, oh well, it will be worth the wait I'm sure. at least boondox is smart enough to sell individual parts unlike calmini

not badmouthing boondox, just impatient about waiting for my lift... they are clear across the country, I realize it has to take a while

If I were replacing the struts at the same time I was looking to get extensions I would definately go with the OME's.  The only possible downside is that you might not get as much droop as the BDS extensions.... although that might not be bad after all 

woooo, my wallet is lighter now that I just ordered some ome struts from rocky road. I actually wouldn't mind if they had less droop than with 2 inch extenders cause one dude had them on here and said the CV's didn't want to move when the struts were fully drooped.

I really really hope ome will prove it's reputation to be true cause those damn struts are spendy. fortunately I was able to spot those pro comp shocks which are really nice for cheap.

my GV should be a whole different animal once I finally recieve my orders. I ordered my spacers 5 days ago so it will probably take a few more for them to get here. I  have never ordered from rocky road so I have NFC how long those struts will take to get here

good luck with RR, i had nothing but hassles with them
any respectable 4x4 shop sells OME products so i get mine from them

crap, yea, the coil spacers were going to be here like 2 days ago acording to the email usps sent but of corse they aren't here yet. I really hope the struts get here soon but you have me worried. this evening I made my E brake lines so they won't hang up but still secure enough (I think) and put a longer section of diff breather line (I used fuel line or something from napa.. real cheap and it seems better than stock as far as durability) and I also put a hoseclamp on the diff end of the line that wasn't a worthless paper clip like thing cause the stock one didn't want to get really tight. All I need to do is cut the brake line mount on the axle and relocate it a little upwards so that won't hang up (going to weld a piece of steel strapping in.. like an inch or a tadd more) I already have the pro comp 2 inch lift shocks on so my droop on the rear axle won't change.

the coils unseat when I flex the suspension or let it droop all the way and the rear shocks bottom out allot. if it will be a while till I have time to put the lift on I might have to put the stockers back on temporarely even though they are pretty much shot and the diameter of a golf kart shock. I need my freaking lift soon and if rocky road doesn't deliver I think I will have to go over there and regulate! I threw allot of cash at thier business for a set of struts

'tis a shame we arent able to order from ARB direct
they ship out all their orders right away

I believe Trail Tough are agents too and they seem to have a pretty good service rep.

I'd help you out but I work for ARRB not ARB, people always get it confused!
