Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey guys just another quick question.....my 92 jtop has adjustable dampners in its original shocks with the s/m/h settings basically they do nothing and are leaking out oil so time for a change, ill be putting in some unadjustable shocks because they are too expencive.....question is when i change them do i just leave the actuators hanging there or what??

also can anyone reccomend a good value for money brand??? its lifted 2"

thanks in advance guys

The actuators have plugs a little down the wiring, just unplug them.
