The way I have mine done is one end of the strut bolts to the trunk arms (right at the bottom of the curve) and the other end bolts to the frame a few inches above the shock tower.

Just find a set of dampers you like wherever you like to shop (auto parts store, truck supply store, ebay, google, etc..) and rig it up. You will have to use some time and thought to get it to work

Judging by the thread title, there might be a shortage in this area....

i modded mine to struts in my 4th gen. i'll have to go to storage and look at my lude to find the part number off the struts i used. i have tried differents sizes and such and found a combo that works actually and i have pics of the install just have to find those and figure out how to post them on here.

well i cant find what i did with my pics nor can i see the part number on the struts seeing as they're installed. but i know all i did was go on ebay typed in suspa. i have tried different kinds and the ones i got to work were 17 inches and 28lbs pressure. i have read other posts where ppl have said use a 12 inch that compresses to 8 inches but i believe thats only for 5th gens cuz i tried it and it wasnt even close to working. get suspa 17 inch struts.

I have a 4th gen and I've installed mine with these specs: 12in - 8in compressed. 60-ish PSI. I'm sure you can try other geometry, such as mach3lude suggested.

I based mine off this 5th gen mod: http://www.preludezone.com/showthread.php?t=2174
