I did not replace the shocks on my 2006 Ram 2500 when i done mine. I was told that i could use my factory shocks. I have not had any trouble.

I recently installed these on my 1999 Ram 2500 and retained the stock length shocks. Everything is working the way it should.

No. The stock shocks have the travel. So after market shocks will be the same. As long as you have no lift kit installed.

Yes you'll have to order longer shocks for it or purchase the shock extenders
1447546
Drive your truck without the extenders then drive it with longer shocks you'll see the difference this coming from a guy with a 2012 ram 2500 that I use on a daily basis on lease roads in the oilpatch

I added a set of shocks after the spacers and they expanded even further than I thought they would. Apparently, bilsteins are good even with a 5 inch lift I plan to get from rough country.

Greetings .... I bought to use in my 2002 Ford Sport 4x4 2 door, and I am very good replacement perfect I think it's even better than the original, they are armed with pressurized nitrogen and feels good to drive and if it works for models XLS, XLT , Limited, I have years using shocks K & B and I have no complaints, I recommend these replacements, the price seems excellent and I assure you it is a good choice at low prices, but if you want something better I recommend the Bilstein, they are expensive but it is the best I know of in shock absorbers for trucks and vehicles to ride, I hope I've helped a little, the decision is yours.

I added the Rancho shocks up front and the Fab Tech add a leaf 1.5. In the back for a 2-3 inch lift all around. We replaced the rear shocks with bilstien 4600. This is on my 2001 2WD Tacoma. After having done this, I would have put bilstien 5100 in the back. Otherwise everything works/looks nice!

I'm sorry but I don't know how these compare to the Bilstein product. I can say that I installed these on my 2003 Envoy and have been very satisfied with their performance and ride. The next time I need shock absorbers for one of my other vehicles, I will consider Monroe products first.

I don't know for certain, but I think that it pushed my front end up closer to the 2.25" measurement. I would like to add one thing to consider that I didn't think of before I installed them- they're advertised as a leveling kit and that's what they do very well. The problem is that once I leveled the truck, when I put any weight in the back it made the truck look dorky because the back sat lower than the front. I had to add some lift to the rear to make it look better-- and it does look good!

You do not need longer struts. These spacers go on top of the stock length struts. The stock length shocks on the rear will work but may limit your overall suspension travel. A longer shock would be more ideal.

No, the fronts and rears are different, although the right and lefts as the same in the front. So for a set for the front u need 2 of 181661, then for the rear u would need one if the 181662L and one of 181662R or if u want to upgrade the rears with stiffer spring (you should) then use one each of 1332326R and 1332326L.

Hi We do carry the Bilstein 5100 series front shocks. You would need to provide year, make, and model of the vehicle for correct fitment. Thanks Truckcustomizers.com 800-497-1780

I would advise you to contact Rancho and they will help you with your application. Stock height and 3-4" lifted trucks will take different shocks. Hope that helps

The stock shocks will be just fine as well as the sway bar. An adjustable track bar is recommended but not needed I'm using the stock one and the only thing I notice is the front axle sits about half an inch towards the driver side more then stock but it won't wear any parts or drive weird. I say go for it my truck looks awesome!

I ordered a pair of shocks, and one was front and one was rear. When you order yours make sure that you mark in other comments or call amazon to verify it.

I just installed these in my 03 4runner. It raised the front about 2inch. They have different setting you can put them on. So you can have it at the stock setting or crank it up. I have mine on the highest setting. Have a mechanic install them if you choose the highest setting because you use the stock coil to go over these shocks and it was a pain trying to compress the compress with a spring compressor. These shocks are really nice and they are a bit softer than the fab tech shocks I installed in the back. Hope this helped.

These springs give about 2.5" all around. The front will give a little more. I recommend if you get the springs to order the shocks as well. The stock shock won't last long and the ride will be a little rough. Eventually you will have to change the shocks.

I have worked for two big four wheel drive shops in san antonio and I will tell you anytime you add any lift or lowering kit you sbould check and replace any worn or loose parts. Also yes you need to put a two inch longer shock on your truck because your ride will suffer and or you will blow out or rip the top off your shock if you hit a bump too hard!

RS999921 Right FrontRS999937 Left FrontRS999303 Both RearThe two front are going to give about 1.5" lift in the front. The rear aren't necessary, but I like replacing all the way around if you are going to get the front replaced. They ride very nicely, very similar to stock. Mine are set at 5.

When the front struts comes off, you will have to to disassemble them, you will notice that there are pieces similar to these when you are taking it apart. I don't think I had I use every piece in the kit. You'll need two of these kits if you're doing both front shocks.

I'm assuming you want the shocks for the front because you said you're putting the plow on this is what I did in the past go to o'reilly's website look up shocks for your vehicle click on the cheap Monroes there they will tell you how long there and the bolt hole size and then from there you can start looking for other vehicles that have the same style that you can buy air shocks for for instance we have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee they don't make your shocks for that so I found out 2000 Dodge Ram 3 quarter ton 4 by 4 has the same fittings I was able to buy those and they work awesomethe shop that you were referring to I believe fit on the older chevy tell 1987 . I believe the front shocks on a Chevy of your age has a stud on top and a bolt hole on the bottom if so look up a mid 1980s ford e250 rear shocks they should be the same as your front .
