I have strut extenders but they are sitting in my tool box. I didn't order them and have no intension on using them. you misread a bit there. I only saw one part number for the ome strut that was supposed to fit any ifs suzuki 4X4. I'll check and make sure I didn't get the softer N31. that could be the problem

OMEN103S is the item number rocky road said they are. I am thinking if I were able to get a thinner than stock sway bar it would help a bit with the wobling on the road and still allow full flex. anyone have any ideas?

Are the upper strut mounts still in great shape?   You shouldn't be having problems with this setup.

Make sure you have the N103S struts cause they superceeded the N31S, which were softer for the 4cylinder models.
 

ARB haven't had the N31S struts since 2004 so in theory you will always be getting the N103S struts unless someone has old stock around or you are buying used.

yea, the struts aren't that bad, it's just a woble here and there. I think having the sway bar off makes the suspension a little to active for those particular struts. I think I'll just live with it. they don't do to bad on corners. I corner flat with no sway bar because of the new shocks and struts. the coil spacers did stiffen the front end I believe too so that's probably a part of it. Yea, can't have it all, it's either this or a stock length strut with an extender or mount spacer, I'll stick with ome
