I'd go ahead and get struts too larry. If you're having someone install them for you...you dont want to pay install costs again just to put the struts on. Or if your doing it yourself, you dont want to do it again, its a pretty big job. In other words, why pay/do the install twice?

What springs/struts you going with BTW?
