so with my lift kit i want to replace front struts as well. no scense in keeping the stock struts in there at 65k. im thinking it may just be easier to get the monroe quick struts. that way i can just bolt them right in without any fuss.. are monroes good? whats up with this fox coilover?? i dont understand how it can work with the bottom not being a fork? ideally thise would look great to match the rear fox

If you notice at the bottom of the pic it says... Image may not be application specific so more than likely if they offer it for our trucks it will be the same as OEM. Just better quality. I honestly haven't heard much about them but the high price on them should mean good quality.

I would recommend calling a dealer that sales them and ask more questions bc even after searching the part# i couldnt find an actual picture that is compatible but if they say its for the 06-08 then it has to mount correctly.

I just ordered my bilstein 5100s from aoutanything for 169 for 2 with a discount code and free shipping. And you can adjust those from 0"-2" for a level or just oem ride height. I have pulled the strut assembly off before to add the leveling spacers and it was pretty easy so if you buy or rent the spring compressors it should only take an extra hour or two of time to just replace the struts. Im gonna tackle that this weekend weather permitting.

Those things are bad ass! I wonder what the MSRP is? I found the matching rears on Ebay yesterday for $225 for the pair.

Edit: I found them on PolyPerformance.com for $400 a piece or Eshocks.com for $360 a piece. Not a bad price for a full replacement adjustable coilover!
