Repalcement struts recommendation

[1USMC]

I have an adjustable track bar and still had to do the second gas tank skid plate mod......

Looking at the witness marks on my actual gas tank, after my drive shaft had pulled my shield down , it looked like it was barely rubbing. But still, I am not feeling that comfortable with it rubbing on the actual gas tank itself. So I want to give it an extra 1/4 to perhaps 1/2 inch clearance.

07JeepXK when you installed your adjustable track bar did you make it longer than the stock one and if so by how much ? Otherwise some day I will have to measure and try that trigonometry stuff. LOl

When mine was rubbing I did have both my front and rear sway bars disconnected.

I had to reuse the Rough Country lift or I would have lost about 3". When I built the towers they were way shorter without them. I don't know how you got away from them but I couldn't figure that out.
The ride is SO much springier now! Is that normal?

How the hell did y'all get the F-150 shocks on the rear?

Disconnect the sway bar. Do the gas tank skid on the driver side otherwise that one will be a PITA! (and you'll hit now that your shock won't limit the travel as much)

Hold up... so you have the RC on top of the OME HD? The OME strut is the same length as the stock strut. Lift is achieved because the spring compresses less under the same load.

I want to see some pics of your front end...

I dunno man... it's level now and it wasn't before i put them back on. It was a noticeable loss without them. I'm thinkin if the Struts were longer it would even out the lift with slightly less bounce.
I have NO tire rub now either.

Angles look the same...

What do you have in the rear?

Your front looks really high..... I'm running OME HD + 1/4" spacer up front and it looks like you have at least an inch more than I do.



Would love to see some pics of your front end angles. How close is your knuckle to the strut? I'm telling you man you're double stacked.

Edit: No way were your angles that bad with just the RC lift. This is what my angles look like with my OME+ which is steeper than when i had the RC lift:

This is how they looked with the RC lift:




.... Your angles are so bad the CV boots are going to cut through themselves.

They did that the first week I had it.
