Quick update for what it's worth.. Yesterday I added a set of 2" leveling top spacers (actual spacer thickness 1.25") and it has restored my ability to get into OR1 and OR2. The ride is much better in normal now as well since the air springs aren't over inflated to compensate for the shorter gen...

I've actually been wondering if links or a spacer would work. I'm thinking a spacer might make more sense as it would pick up the physical difference in height. As it sits now I believe the system is adding more air to get to 'normal' and links would maybe make that worse since they use air to...

Frankly because of the crazy delta in price one I realized my 'good deal' was a complete error. And the stock struts were washed... I was originally looking at a site that sells rebuilt units and they had separate listings for the 4th gen and 5th gen but the part numbers interchanged for both...

So, got them on the truck. The assembly is right about 1" shorter but everything still bolted right back up in the correct spots. For now it seems to be 'workable' from a driving perspective. She won't quite get into OR1 and in Normal feels a bit harsh/firm, sort of like OR1 did back when I...

From the freeway they look identical. Same air fitting, top stud pattern and nut size is the same and and bottom mount is the right size/shape. Only real difference seems to be the 4th gen strut body is a bit shorter. Suppose I'll give it a go and see what happens.

Long story short, I messed up and ended up with what I've realized are 4th gen front struts for my 5th gen limited (and am past the return window). Aside from probably not being able to get into OR1 or OR2 due to the shorter strut body length would putting them on mess anything else up? I'm...
