I have the yellow OME. I assume those are the long travels? Either way they came with all the bushings. I did not have to reuse any stock parts.
No you do not have the long travels .

The Long Travel shocks DO NOT come with the upper bushings for the front.

The lower front and rear bushings are already installed.

The standard OME shocks do come with new front uppers they are just a simple poly replacement Bushing, washers and a nut they come in a bag not pre installed.

The factory nut wont fit and that is why OME supplies a new one.

Thanks Dave, that's what I thought. I prefer the stock bushings anyways. But why do bushings come with the regular but not the LTs? just curious.

They made the standard shocks first and then discovered how nice the factory ones are and decided we did not need to provide them.
