    Any idea if the Monroe Quick-Strut or another strut can be taken apart?

    So if I am understanding what you wrote the only thing you need to do with the 5100's is now replace the coil springs and the mount kit that is available at any auto parts store if I want all new rather than repurposing old struts? Is there anything else that the struts don't come with?

    Thank you this was very helpful. I assume this is something new with perches because 5 years ago I bought the 5100's and they didn't and it was why I contacted Pro Comp and they replaced my front leveling struts that was on my truck which crapped out again.

    Any idea if the Monroe Quick-Strut or another strut can be taken apart?

    What I am asking is since my truck is 10 years old and I bought it 8 years ago used, I have no idea of everything under there so I am looking to make sure I have consistency. If I can take apart an OEM replacement shock and put the parts one would need on either the Bilstein or Eibach struts I...

    I was on that site and the prices I saw for a single 100k plus miles on a strut is about 150. That’s insanity. I need to find a fully plug and play option.

    Lifted 4th Gen Pics - Show Em Off!

    Love it! I have the True Blue 2014 with ProComp 2.75" leveling struts that have to be replaced. I have a Zone UCA and Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek in 275/65 R20's. How are the 6112's on road? I am looking at them, the 5100's and the Eibach ProTruck. I am at least 98% on the road with my truck...

    Any idea if the Monroe Quick-Strut or another strut can be taken apart?

    Any idea if the Monroe Quick-Strut or another strut in the same price point area can be taken apart? That would give me a new oem spring, the spring perch and mounting bracket since I need spring perches for the Bilstein 5100's and my truck doesn't have the original oem shocks. My mechanic...

    Where do I find coil spring perch?

    Where do I find coil spring perch?

    I need the spring perch that the bottom of the front coil spring rests on so I can put it on some Bilstein 5100’s. It's the piece in the middle of this picture? My mechanic called Ram and they said that part doesn't even have a part number and we would have to but two new struts and take it...

    What should I do?

    I have a 2014 1500 5.7 with ProComp leveling struts and Zone UCA's. The truck came to me that way when I bought it as a certified preowned vehicle in 2016. My issue is that in 2019 one of the struts went bad and the company sent me replacements. They have a lifetime no questions asked...

    2014 1500 gas tank strap and frame rusted out

    This wasn't the dealer it was a local autobody shop. I only have on street parking so it's not feasible for me to get a welder and try and do it myself. I don't know the extent of the issue but what I've read is most frame repairs go 2k and up.

    I found that recall and it was for 2012 and earlier. I think it's BS since what is described in that recall is exactly what happened to me but they aren't covering it.

    The truck looks as good as an 8 year old non-garaged daily driver could which was what was so shocking when I was told about the frame.

    I just spoke to the body shop and they said they can weld a sleeve on it to patch it for $650! I was dreading the worst. This was even less than what I thought the best case scenario was going to be.

    2014 1500 gas tank strap and frame rusted out

    I would rather replace a fan and radiator vs. who knows what a frame costs to fix or replace. My mechanic just took it to a body shop a few doors down and going to have them call me after they look. Crossing my fingers that it won't be too much to fix because a new truck is not in the budget...

    Well my day just got better after seeing that there was a 300,000 vehicle recall my mechanic called Ram and they said my VIN is not part of the recall! :banghead::banghead::banghead:
