Can't speak from personal experience as far as their reliability on a track/kick, but I believe Deutsch Tech makes a set.

Does BDS make like a 2" lifted strut? I could probably get them locally... I need struts too (mine are blown).

Thanks! I'll check them out. I do need the stock length, or a 3" longer than stock (then I could eliminate my strut drop)

3" strut drop seems a bit excessive, do you still have the stock bumpstops. I would have thought that you would top out the strut, maybe thats why you are blowing them so often.

I'll check and see if they are. I'm not sure if it is 3", but it's the drop bracket that comes with the Calmini 3" Kit.

about those DBS struts ...
Lets say i put back my 2" coil spacers in the front and use those struts all my adjusting camber nightmare will be gone ? or will i still have to play around everything in the front to make the tires be straight insted of being " / \ "   <-- like that ...

My 3" suspension lift made the tires go \  /
so I made a set of extensions that fit
the top of the strut mount and move the
struts inward so now the tires are pretty
much straight, just some eyeball
engineering ;)
