I just ordered a BDS suspension lift kit for my 04 renegade and I need some help from you guys to see what front struts I should get for it since the kit doesn't include it. I don't know too much about lift kits but i know a little bit. I saw some OME struts on Jeepinbyal.com but it says they are for 1.5" lift. I'm trying to narrow down this search with part number to what exactly I need for it. Thanks guys

Front "SHOCKS" are all the same no matter what
Also may as well grab the teraflex bumpstops from jeepinbyal as well when you order

I am waiting to install my OME Lift that I ordered from JeepinByAl....But I ordered the Bilstein shocks instead of the OME due to being on National Backorder at the time. Very similar from what I was told..

Ride is close on the two, although on a CRD the OMEs do seem to do better.
I have installed both and rode/drove both after install and its hard to tell the difference. The OMEs do have an internal bumpstop in them though

I just put the frankin lift and add a 3/8 spacer in frount. And the OME struts are 1/2" taller than the stock ones.This kit went to geather so easy. From ground to fender 36" all away around. Money well spent.

36 inches all around tells us nothing since that figures in tire height ( depending on size of tires and wheel width
