I am getting the quickFit leveling struts from Rancho to replace my front struts. Do I need a press to replace the rear struts like I would for the front if I didn't get the quickFit. 2013 Ram 1500 Bighorn quad.

you dont have struts in the rear. You have a coil sping and a shock, so no

So they will just bolt on? This is the set I was looking at and it doesn't seem to have a coil for the rear set.

yes they bolt in. I'm not sure if the rancho quicklift raises the rear or not, but i doubt it. you can always get coilspring spacers if you want to raise the rear.

No I am only leveling(raising the front). The whole reason I am getting the quickFit is so I don't need the compression tool needed. But I figured I would change out the rear while I'm at it, but if I needed to special tool I won't do the rear.

I'm pretty sure there not supposed to. The rear are just standard while the quickFits are leveling.

I know that, I just got them because they were adjustable and i could dial my truck in the way I like it.

I think they still have the 120$ mail in rebate.
