You WILL have to rotate the stut 180 with any leveling kit. There is no harm in it, i've done it several times to different trucks.

Looks good man!

Not true with all kits, there are a few on Ebay that I am looking at that claim they have resolved this issue and you do not have to rotate the strut whatsoever.

wrong.... the autosprings kit goes in the same way the strut came out, the kit just bolts on top, ive never heard of having to rotate the strut, i would stay away from that doesnt sound like a good idea to me

Looks great! Gave me a good idea of what my black FX4 would look like with that wheel/tire combo.

Thats what I was afraid of, never seeing a Black FX4 with this combo and the offset I'm still not too sure on... a little wide for my taste but its growing on me.

It doesn't matter which way the strut goes back in it still works the same way. My 2" kit was a 180 rotate. I think it was made that way more to be able to get the nuts and a wrench on the studs. If they were directly in line the studs would be in the way of each other. I couldbe wrong
