Noticed my front left strut was wet/leaking when I was changing my oil - I'm not looking to lift, any recommendations on replacement struts? wouldn't mind something that eliminated the jittering on some highway bumps, but I don't want to make the ride stiff. Monroe has a 172292 quick strut, the only ranchos I could find raised it 2" - any recommendations? 2012 1500 Laramie hemi crewcab 4x4. Thanks.

I have a stock set sitting in my garage with less than 3000 miles on them. They came off of my 13 Ram CC 4x4.

Bilsteins. Even if you want to keep stock height, I think they ride way better.

The 5100 is what i went with. They seem to be pretty popular around here.

if you have no intention of ever leveling the truck out at all, save yourself some money and get the HD's.


This. The HD and the 5100's have the same valving. The 5100 levels the truck if you want, the HD does not.

Screw Monroe shocks. Just put a set on my wife's vehicle. Too soft and they bottom out easy. I should have gone Bilstein to start with, now I'll pay again for bilsteins this time around.
