I would recomend not using the stock struts.... I have a 95' tour dropped 2.25" and when it had 130,000 miles on it I put GC coilovers on the stock struts - they lasted for about 20,000 miles without excessive bounce or handling issues.... NOW is a different issue - I have strut leaking, 6 clunking noises when turning from right to left, bouncing like you wouldn't believe, gone through bearings as often as I change my underwear, and now I have to replace at least the struts, if not the entire setup.... just my $.02 - You do it cheap, you will have to do it again. BUT IT LOOKS GREAT!
