Just to give you a heads up bullet. With the OME front struts, it seems to be a bit bouncy when pulling or slowing to a stop. If you are pulling into a parking spot or something and dont take it easy on the brakes, it may get alittle crazy. They ride great on the HW though, much better than the stock shocks.

Oh, I love that!

Sometimes when I'm bored in traffic I like to goose the pedal rhythmically, it makes the whole front end bounce like a lowrider.

I've done two frankenlifts (an 04 and 05), and we used 2 washers one the top mounts of each side. Each to your own, but if you don't want to bend the mount, use a couple of $0.05 washers. If you don't care, then just tighten them down.

Can't wait to try the bouncy thingy....hehehe. Ok, so the consensus is to use a couple of washers on the top of the shock mount, otherwise it will bend a little bit. Some don't care about the bend but others would rather use the washers.....is that about right?? Sometimes all of the posts get me confused...heheh :?

Yeah, that pretty much it. I'll sum it up again though.

Use washers to secure shock.
or
Bend mount to secure shock.
