    Anyone use KYB top hats? Looking to preassemble my own front suspension and these are $27 each on Amazon. Figured I can use these for a quicker install of the front suspension. (And safer option without having to rent a tool)

    I used them on mine. Can't beat KYB quality. They come with all the bushings and washers you need as well. I bought my OME kit from low range and had them assemble them, bad idea. Their top hats did not have the bushing on the top of the top hat. And i couldn't find a place to order the right bushing. So that's why I ordered the KYB's.

    Thanks. Makes me wonder what other places are using when they pre-assemble the spring/shock combo when purchasing. I would imagine that OEM parts are not cheap.

    None yet, starting over!! OME lift w/ Dakars & 885's Remote Start w/ window control
    I used these as well... been on the truck for nearly a month now, and having never assembled struts and coils before, this saved me a good amount of time during the actual install. $50-some for a new pair, and haven't had an issue with them yet.
