Looks interesting. Nice color scheme though. Definitely needs bigger tires though. Wonder how good it'll look once you get 35s.

Thanks for posting pictures. Looks great, even without the 35s installed. I like the price point of the 5100s, looking at these myself for my base.

I went ahead and ordered a set, I have 100k miles on my Ram's 5100 struts and they are still good.

Can't wait for pictures with 35s!

My 5100s came in, now if my next Bronco would show up!

Figured I would post a few pictures of the shock. The welds at the eyelets look bad, but hey it's made in America!

Center axle to metal fender is the preferred way to measure as it doesn't include the variation in tire size and inflation, but it does appear you gained a couple of inches.

Here you go, I plan to stack a spacer lift on since these are the same length as SAS shocks.

Besides the lift aspect, are these really better than the Hitachis in dampening/ride performance? Just curious.
