I have a 05 CRD with a OME lift. I was told that the front struts are the same size as stock ones is this correct ? I would like to go with Bilstein (24139168) can not afford OME at $170 each. HELP
The struts are the same dimensional size, but that is where it ends.
Gas charged struts along with higher load rated springs add additional height or lift to the vehicle along with a better more firmer ride and handling characteristics..
Many also add a few conduit nuts or a thick spacer between the strut and the clevis device that holds the strut in position to gain a little additional lift.
Bilsteins are very good struts and shocks!
JBA sells the strut spacers....
