Strut install continued...........Note: I marked the Strut Mount orientation so I would know how to line up the new assy upper mounting studs, also the correct orientation of the lower Strut Mount will allow the Strut to lean inboard. So take that into account when building up the new assembly. As seen in the 2nd picture.


l

New Strut Mounts with Isolators Part Number FM1969 to build up the Bilstein Strut /Springs ahead of time for an easy remove and install. However they do not come with plastic molded dust boots like Factory mounts.

Yes, they come down far enough for a lifted Truck to utilize and be functional as well. I saw a video where they talked about them on a Truck in the Snow/Freeze belt that sits outside all winter and they haven't missed a beat, work like a champ.

They clean up the look of the Truck and tuck right up tight under the body. The LEDS give you some light and look cool at night when stepping onto them. You wire them into the OBDII in the truck so when any of the 4 doors are opened/Closed they activate along with the lights.

I'm looking for a something else.....more transparent and I'm also looking for transparent small American flag to match if possible. But I need a little red to match the F150/ lariat badges.
