97 4x4 2.7l man... Installed Front and Rear Billstein HDs and 881s/906s this past weekend. I also put 2nd gen Deeza rear end links on. They seem good enough and were only $9 per. Most Critical tools were undoubtedly a sawzall, hacksaw, and grizzly wintergreen. I had to cut old rear shocks off right below top mount, cut the rear bolt off both top hats, and remove entire rear sway bar to hacksaw old links. Other than lining up bottom of front shocks installation was fairly easy. The ride is a 100% improvement. Huge reduction in side-side sway. Takes terrain imperfections like a truck again. Height increase was perfect for me too. Smaller drivers side cv boot did start spewing after my first drive. No alignment yet but not much changed.

Hey, I just got my OME upgrade done today too. I went with 880's in front, along with 90004 shocks, and 891's in the rear, with 60027 shocks. I had 210,000 miles on the originals. What a difference? I carry a LOT of weight in the rearend and a RTT, so that's the reasons for the 891's. No heavy bumpers or winches. totally different ride quality. Hope you are as happy as I am.
