what do you think is the problem with getting them to bolt on a little custom work isnt bad still cheaper than coil over setup and i might get a better ride quality out of it sence it is a dd when i get it back up going

yeah its about normal but the problem would probably be the spring perch the strut it self would probably be the same size.
