Thanks guys. While I got this thread here, what front struts should I replace to? I forgot the name. Just seeing if I can get them done while I got the entire front end apart.

It's a truck. Not looking for a ride out of a sports car haha. I'll probably just get some monroes if I can.

I think monroes will be perfect IMO. With the Leveling kit (LK) installed it will stiffen any strut up a little bit. I have heard that with the Rancho's plus the LK, the ride is similar to a solid axle

Good to know. I may or may not do the struts this time. Just gotta see how big the price tag will be on what really needs fixed first.

If you install a ''spacer inside strut'' its really stupid not to change the OEM strut junk right now trust me....you will love the monroe compare to bouncy OEM!
