Has anyone tried the remanufactured OEM ones by Cardone? I noticed them on rock auto, might be worth a shot? PN 606185

Yes, I just installed this and can confirm. I have a 2" lift and had to do a bit of trimming.

Hello from Vancouver, BC! I got my R50 last December. 2004 Chilkoot, 5 speed, just under 200000km (~120k miles) when I bought it. Suspension in the back was shot (bottomed out with any load or passengers in the back, bumpstops non-existent), but it had some 245/75/r16 KO2s on it, and previous owner had done a decent black plasti-dip job on the stock rims. Two months ago I backed over a piece of sheet metal and completed destroyed a sidewall. I got a temporary non matched tire, and used the incident as an excuse to order the larger set (265/75/r16) I really wanted. And hey, since they wouldn't clear the strut perch with the stock rims, I'd have to order some new rims too. Tough life ? Fast forward a few months, and I've now replaced the suspension (OME MD springs front and rear, OME shocks, Kyb Gr2 struts.) Got about 2" of lift out of it (a bit less in the front.) I just got my new wheels and tires in yesterday! Had to do a bit of trimming in the front, but I think it turned out pretty well! The wheels are Procomp 69s (16") in flat black. Tires are KO2s again. These forums have been very helpful while selecting parts for the lift, backspacing of wheels, etc. Now that I actually have something to show, and a bit of experience with my R50 to share, I figured it was time to join up!
