I have an 09 Ram with a RC 6" lift. My front shocks are starting to leak (original shocks) and I need to address it soon.

What recommendations would the gang suggest? If there is a spacer up front (not sure), should I take it out and get adjustable shocks? The front sits about 1 " lower than the rear even though the kits says that it will level your truck.

Do I just need to buy shocks, or the whole strut assembly. What can I expect to pay?

TIA

Go to Rough country and look at the 6" kit for ur 09 and see if it utilizes the factory coil over. It most likely does but I'm not sure. I don't have time to look right this second. 1st ya got to figure out exactly what's under there.

If I was going to replace it, I would look at some bilstiens or rancho"s. My buddy just did rancho coil overs on his 08 and he is happy with them.
