If your roads are like driving off-road do NOT upgrade to the HD front struts! I drove our 92 245 with lowering springs and HD struts/shock and blew out power steering rack U-bolts and tie rod ends in 9 months! Please note, all of those part were no older than 2 years.

On smooth roads, HD front struts are great, the rear HD shocks do not have enough rebound damping.

My advice is KYB GR2 and KYB Gas adjust.
