Got a package in the mail!! Question

Can i run my stock struts with my new OME coils up front? Will there be any ride height sacrifice? I plan on putting skyjacker struts in the rear for now. I'm buying a house so i don't wanna over spend if i don't have to. Any info would be greatly appreciated - thanks.

You really need to use a longer strut to work with those coils. If not, you'll be reaching the limits of the strut's range of motion and failure will likely occur. Why do the work twice?

Never skimp on suspension parts. Ever.

You have shocks... not struts, and yes you will be needing longer ones to take full advantage of your longer springs.

the shock will limit the range of lift. its better if you had a longer shock.
