                    Coil Springs can alone be changed and no need to change the complete strut assembly.

                    These are O.E.M. style struts. These are not a shock that is designed to lift a vehicle.

                  • A:

                    No,struts are like a shock.Ride heigth is the coil spring,after market parts are needed to lift height.Check under performance.
