Annoys me lol. Wish I would have known the first time about the moog problem solver stuff. But didn't have the money at the time. Lets hope I don't have any more issues after I put them on. Least it will match the rest of my suspension lol.

I'm about to do the same, I mean they look ok and feel ok but they are factory parts on mine and I haven't replaced them since I got the truck. Did you find the part number to the greasable ones?

I'm also going to do my lowers ball joints again, since my mevotech boots have disintegrated. And uppers are factory too so I might do them as well. AAANNNDD... my monroes are pretty bouncy.. so I may fork the cash for some ranchos too lol.

ES3571 Moog Problem solver. Grease-able.

I need to do my front struts too. Not sure what ones I want to get.

For struts there is only 3 options.
OEM Crap
Rancho
Monroe

I have Monroe with no issues at all. Ive heard the Rancho are stiffer (not sure how much tho)

Just as an FYI for you guys... about a year ago when I had my lil accident (a moment of silence and genuflect) my truck was repaired by a certified Chrysler Dodge Dealer. The only suspension damage was on the driver's side. Since it was all gonna be taken apart any way I asked them If I brought new suspension parts for the passenger side if they could do me a solid and install them in place of the original ones they were taking off anyway, additionally (since I wanted to upgrade to the Moog Problem solvers) I asked if it'd be possible to get Moog and just pay the difference of what they were going to install.... To my delight and surprise, not only were they totally cool about upgrading the passenger side with what I brought them, I was informed that they only used Moog parts for replacements anyway. So yeah, I made out like a fat kid locked in a cupcake factory.
