I installed em and like em, made doing the lift easier.

DO get new bolts to install them, I used the old factory ones, and now it looks like one broke and fell out and the other had the head sheared off and I now have to go get drilled and tapped.

bar pin eliminators do not allow for a wider range of shocks. they just get you a through bolt instead of a bar pin

stem to eye conversions for the front do though.

i was looking at the jks ones cause they look pretty beefy, more expensive than some of the others i have seen but i think they may be worth the extra

Sure they do. Eliminate that bar pin and you can get shocks up to 30 inches long in some brands.
