I wouldn't say they are absolutely mandatory but very strongly recommended.

Yes if you want it to ride better and work off road. FWIW, I have a new Rancho 17004 in the sale section for cheap so you would only need to buy one at normal cost. :wink:

I did the Daystar and at first did not change anything could not tell any difference on the road. I changed the struts out to get more down travel and still cant tell the difference depends on if you will be on the pavement or off road most.Half the people that did it don't go off road much and did not need it.

The front struts, if in good condition, will work ok w/ the Daystar but they probably won't last long if you wheel it much. I was mainly talking about the rear shocks as the front are not much different in length from stock. (if at all) I have not seen the OME front struts length compared to stock but I thought I saw where they were slightly longer? Or was that the thread about some Ranchos that were made wrong?

I have 4 years of KJ posts running around in my head! :shock:
