here is how to take apart the new Easy Street struts to do what ever you need to do. I took mine apart to put on some new top plates to lower it more, I had EZ Baked make mine, but you could have yours made by whoever. This is just the process, and the results.


first you need to take this top nut off(19MM I think), you will need to use a hex key to hold the strut while you take the nut off.


After you remove the nut you will need to unscrew this part.


next you will need to remove this metal "ring", I just used my pocket knife to get up under the top edge, and get it going.


then just grab it and finish pulling it off, careful not to loose it.


now you can just lift the plate off. if you are replacing with an different one put it back on in between the two white plates like so.


and then just put everything back on like you took it off.

here is a before and after with the new plates on.

before, stock mounting plate.


After, new drop plate.


you may see more of a dramatic result but the frame braces under the car are on the ground on mine now, and I am only running 16s.

Looks Great, nice job!

Nice job goth! Looks like you got about an inch of additional drop!

yeah at least. in that pic with my Rotas on, the frame braces are sitting on the ground, so I am not too sure how much more it has in it. I want to notch the frame more, but I need to weld reinforcements in it and all that stuff that I can't do. When I put my steelies on, the axels are sitting on the frame, even after the pinch welds have been cut flush with the frame. I also want to top mount the plates as well, I have to trim a little on the top of the strut tower first though.

Now correct me if i'm wrong here but i though this thread by the all mighty GOTHBOX was about how to take apart the strut.


that's a good diy if you have a plasma cutter welder and other tools needed to make a plate. if you don't have that stuff just laying around the house then what good is that diy?

^thank you, plus my comment was for the whole setup.
