Brand new Bilstein 4600 strut and used air bag from 2014 Ram 1500 4x4.

Asking $500 .

Bilstein front struts are 4600s and only have 100 miles on them.

Air bags do not leak but I don't know the age (assume they are original with 165k miles).

I installed these several weeks ago and they handled very well. However, my rear air bags started leaking and my compressor burned out, so I removed my entire air suspension in favor of coils.

Did you do the replacing of the struts yourself?

I did...straightforward...very easy.

Took me about 5 hours to replace front and rear air suspension with coil/coilovers.

No rules on payment options. It's up to the seller & buyer to decide.

Luckily I noticed that one strut was longer then the other and decided to tear them down to double check the assembly cause these things are a disaster. The extension bumpstop was destroyed and siliconed back together on one strut, the lower boot was shredded on one strut, and one washer is missing. The strut shaft slammed into the air fitting port as well as ovalling the strut top. What the heck?

I'm not claiming to know everything about the air suspension, but these were not put together right at all. I feel as though these were misrepresented to be ready to install and clearly they were not.
