Need help finding a part number: front lower spring mounts

[Adamcr68]

About the only members who would know specifically are @Adamcr68 , @Nick@GotExhaust, and @Quick_Shifter

I’m no help, Nick and Quick_shifter will be the ones that can get the information he needs.

My lower control arms and front sway, are the only factory parts on my truck, the front struts are Thuren.

I did get Bilsteens to use when I got my shocks rebuilt, not the 6112’s because they were only for temporary use, but the 5100’s?- not sure the box is at work- are a complete strut. I have no experience with Eibach struts but pretty sure I have seen members that are happy with them.

I hope @HangmanNY can find what he needs, as a fellow 15’ owner I looking forward to his post on how good his truck handles when he finishes his suspenion project.

It sounds like a lot of the factory ones had small tack welds holding the lower spring mounts in place, which could easily be ground off or just simply pounded off with some blows from a hammer.

It drives me nuts that a company like eibach sells a kit like this and requires you to either reuse the old mount of source your own new one from somewhere. Otherwise, your new shocks/springs are worthless/cant be installed. Just makes no sense to me.

Absolutely!!!! I just sent them a long email and I’m expecting to hear from them on Monday

It’s ridiculous that they expect you to use something that has 160,000 miles on it? I was able to buy the complete top mount from KYB. But trying to find the bottom mount is like trying to find a unicorn!

I think I found a couple of parts but when you’re on a Mopar site, they say it doesn’t fit the vehicle. Because what they’re trying to do is make you buy their complete strut.

That’s why I was asking if anyone knew the part number for the lower spring “seat”, “retainer”, or whatever they call it.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that these companies that sell these components don’t sell these!

Right now, I’m really pissed that I spent this money on this Eibach Pro lift system. I did the rears with no problem. Because the coil spring is separate from the rear shock.

I saw those yesterday. Wasn’t sure if that will fit under the springs and fit over the Eibach strut small cup (above the adjustment snap clip)?

I may roll the dice and buy a couple of them.

**update: I ordered two of them. I was told the Eibach struts does not require the dust shield and rubber bump. I ordered a couple sets of KYB dust shield and rubber bumps.
