And there's a lot of WKs over there who praise the Bilsteins.
Thanks for proving my point! Hahahaha (TUJ rules, Xk or WK makes no difference. :) )

I'm shopping for front struts and several sites list their front WK struts "with 2" lift" or "without lift". Why is this? It concerns me and I don't want to order the incorrect part. Please help.
I already installed new F-150 MLL on the rear. Now I need front struts.
The JBA option for OME front struts says "w/ 2" lift" http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-OME_Front_Strut-721.aspx
I also saw this on another site but I don't have time to find it now.
That's just JBAs terminology. Generally that strut is used with the OME 2" lift springs. But the strut itself is the same size as stock struts and OME even advertises them as an upgraded replacement to stock vehicles.
I just ordred the Bilstein struts. Thanks again for helping me. Now the next question, do I install the blue dust sleave or not?
Blue dust sleeve???? Any reason why you didn't go with OME other than the price difference??
its a WK thing, you wouldnt understand LOL
as for the whole bilstein/OME discussion... im learning and seeing more that the bilsteins are holding up and are the strut/shock of choice for a WKer just starting out lifting their rig or daily driving their rig. personally being as my current bilsteins have maybe 20k on them and one half ass wheeling trip on them- im planning on running them with a set of OME MD springs. why MD? i daily driver her, im not adding skids galore or any other extra weight- just want a solid and balanced ride. according to kolak, bilsteins are more of a performance shock, where as an OME shock is more off-road oriented with a higher extended length than the bilstein.
Lets test those Bilsteins out!

I thought they both had the same extended length
