Nothing new from me since my February 2017 post Here:

Since then I have pulled a few more but not sure I have a complete set in my stash now.

Just for your information, strut rods from RockAuto - AMS Automotive #6925 fit perfectly. Seem to be the same as http://amzn.to/2jvzzSI (same part #). In fact the box says AVM industries and Rhino Pac on the front, so clearly the same 6925 struts are branded under a few different names.

So far I only installed one because I could only pull the ball studs from one Explorer but it works very nice. I have the second strut here ready to go when I can get two more ball studs. GREAT MOD!!

Do you think it would be too thick to be classified as a regular envelope / mail because I'm from Canada so if it needed to as a package, that's $9.50!

I don't think they would let me make it a envelope, sorry! I linked a set of ball studs from Ebay somewhere earlier in the thread, you may see if they ship for less to Canada!
