    Anyone have any actual experience with these? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019W...ieL&ref=plSrch the reviews on Amazon are great. And is it as simple as swapping to lowering springs and putting them in? Or is the strut not designed for lowering springs? Thanks guys!

    They may be the same ones as the eBay struts Scotty used.

    You'll just have a little preload on them. Should be ok, as long as it's not a crazy drop.

    If I do a Kyb, I would have to buy the mounts and springs separately? Or what all would I need

    Reviews sure aren't great now?
    I hope my Detroit Axle control arms hold up.
    Reviews were actually quite good on the control arms.
