    Exactly its pretty much what we did, 07JeepXK, he installed for me, but we essentially assembled OME strut/coil and installed. Just make sure you get isolators top/bottom and bump stops, I forgot bump stops and had use stock so it took extra time.

    You would need the new OME strut, OME coil, upper and lower coil isolators, the upper strut plate as well as the yellow bump stop to have everything assembled to where you can just swap out assemblies.

    Everything these guys said...

    Get OME HD
    Get upper/lower isolators, upper mounts and bump stops
    Dont need the 1/4" plate.... you can easily add that at a later date if you want. (I installed seans in a dunkin donuts parking lot lol)

    ...... oh. And you're welcome for being good influences.

    i have 31.5" in front and 33.75" in rear (ground to fender). Must be OCD but ome pdf says 50mm in frnt and 55mm in rear (estimated). wish i had a straight on pic of my xk because it looks horrible. maybe my struts are F'd but no other issues just the rake. is this a case of "what they say in the book vs. real world"?

    The OME lifts the front more than the rear. Thats the main reason I had to make the rear spacers (or run load leveler shocks)
