Well, I just got this 2015 Laramie Limited 2500, and it's obviously a bit different than stock as far as height. I'm not sure, since it's been cold and wet and can't/don't want to crawl around under it yet, what kind of lift or more likely leveling setup this has. I wouldn't care all that much, but I just noticed that the right rear shock absorber is not connected! It's an Icon shock body, and that's it (attached to the lower mount point). The guts have vacated...the body is there, and there's a threaded end on the body (internal) but there's certainly no oil and I don't know what it's supposedly threading onto up in the frame rail. This all was loose and a problem likely before I actually took ownership (the dealer I got it from wasn't a CJDR dealer, and it shows ), but it could have been a matter of NY roads making an already very loose part fall off. Either way, I need to order new shocks, and can't figure out if the truck just has a leveling kit or some form of lift kit. What should I be looking for parts-wise? Here's a side shot of the truck: granted, it's not near any other vehicles for a good reference, but it's a start. BTW: Its running 35x11.5/20 tires on Fuel wheels (also on there when I got the truck).
Side view from about 15 feet across the street (one way avenue, so no yellow line for reference!).
Passenger rear shock...that body is empty!
Passenger front shock/spring.
Driver front shock/spring.
