    Yeah whoever typed that Raybestos description probably screwed up... that part will work and it does come with the upper isolator. I ordered the Moog part just because im a fan of Moog suspension parts, and its only $5 more

    MOOG Part # K160050 strut mounts + upper isolators = $34 x 2
    RAYBESTOS Part # 5771713 Lower isolators = $11 x 2
    Jounce Bumper 52089347AA = $15 x 2 (from mopar online store)

    ... So ~$120 to have 100% new components up front... dont have to worry about a worn out strut mount or isolator needing to be replaced and tearing it all down again.

    Plus, you don't have to take apart the OEM assembly. I put my OME struts together one night, then it took me no time at all to throw them in; actually, at that point the installation takes less time than a spacer lift.

    Well everything is ordered.
    OME HD with Monroe F150 rear shocks, new bump stops, new strut mounts, and new isolators.

    I guess in a week or two I'll have it all installed.

    Yea I know, I'm still a little pissed off because I drove it and still have some clunking. So I'm going to get new sway bar end links, and see what happens.. If that doesn't fix it, it's going back to the mechanic for some steering work I guess. I don't know what else it could be...

    (In other words, pics when I'm happy...)

    **** I am just used to the clunks! I think it would be cheaper to replace all the front bushings right?

    make sure that that top strut bolt is NOT rubbing/hitting the body chassis where it was installed. You can easily look inside the engine bay to see if this is the case. Will look like metal shavings and such.
