Prepped Struts
There are two schools of thought for what is the best way to properly deal with the front struts after a vehicle has been lifted. Some use longer struts, which is the perfect solution if you can find them to match your lift height. Unfortunately what we have seen happen time and time again is that in the pursuit of 'bigger is better' a longer strut only stays longer if its lift height is matched perfectly. Once you add more lift than the strut was designed for, you have just put yourself back to square one and effectively removed the extra travel that was once there. You basically end up with no more travel than a stock strut would allow anyway.
Another way is to use a heavy duty strut spacer, effectively locating the strut back to where it’s proper travel is needed. This is the method we use. No one makes a strut that matches our lift heights, and custom ones would make this kit outrageously expensive.
The front travel is completely limited and dictated by the front cv axles. There is only so much travel to work with.…by spacing the strut down you add wheel travel downward but more importantly when paired with diff drop brackets you add significant up travel..far more than the factory set up, thus increasing wheel travel. In our experience this is the best, most reliable and simplest method of regaining front travel. As an added bonus you can use OEM (stock) struts, which are valved perfectly for the vehicle and save the expense of having to repurchase expensive high end custom length struts when they need replacement.
