Sorry for bringing up an old thread but I've blown both the Bilstien HD struts and one of the shocks in just over a year. I'm really hard on my XK (50k miles in a year) and I've had issues with the lift install from day one.

The Ford Load leveling shocks add some length and requires the gas tank shield mod correct? How does the OME strut you guys are recommending compare for length to the F-150 Shock?

I'm also going to replace the springs because I'm still running stock and I think they're through.

Basically what I'm asking is what's the toughest shock/strut/spring combo that will stand up to ridiculous wear and tear for heavy loads (90+ lbs) but still maintain a decent highway ride?

I'm very irritated with the shop who installed the lift in the first place and now I have the perfect opportunity to correct a bunch of issues and I want to do it with the right parts time.
