I just recently purchased a 2010 Dodge 1500 laramie Quad cab. The truck has almost 200000 miles on it but the truck is in awesome condition, very well taken care of. Looking to do a full tune up on it and also change out the stock shocks and bump stops, any advice on what to use. General use truck no off road or heavy towing.

Welcome to the forum man! Congrats on the Ram. :favorites13:

Since your truck isn't jumping hills or pulling goose necks I wouldnt get too hung up on which shocks to choose. Alot of guys around here use Bilstein 5100 Series, because it lets you adjust the front ride height for larger tires. The entire package can be had for around $80 per shock.

As far as the bump stops go, why are you replacing them? My truck is lowered 2'' and I still dont hit the factory bumps...

I would check out KYB shocks. A tune up is really nothing more than changing out the 16 plugs. Always replace with OE. Other that I would check air filter and drain and replace fluids, radiator, axles, trans ECT.
