Digger914 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 All the companies that make shocks and struts have specs for size and load, all of this can be found on-line. Asking the right questions cuts way down on search time. Struts and shocks have max length and length of piston travel, compare specs of factory part to whats available and dropping your ride height an inch will be a cinch. Sorry, couldn't resist, but if you're going to make the change yourself you better have good tools, when a strut spring gets loose it usually takes a chunk of you with it. Don't do this on your garage floor. Do not use cheap strut compressor when making this change! Clamp on strut compressors are spooky enough when the strut is fully still assembled.
