These ORI struts worked flawlessly, What a ride. The internal bump stops are great. No harsh bottoming out. Only problem I had was the increased amount of flex due to the longer travel which had the rear top links hitting a part of the cross member. It was at a part that had a lower mounting bracket for the top link which I won't use anyway. A cut off wheel took care of it.
In the above pic I have my crane lifting the truck up so all 14" of strut shaft are showing, giving me room to work on that problem area.
On another note, the Dana 70 is awesome in the strength dept., but the large diff does and did get hanged up on some rocks which took some different lines to clear.
