Default Strut input.

I just had my truck in the shop for some warranty work while i was out of the country. Trans issue and shocks and Struts. All was coverd undermy warranty.

What im wondering is they put brad new struts up front but the are factory dodge crap. I am gonna put my leveling kit on and wondering if i should still replace the front strus to Monroe to match the rear or just put the kit on the factory struts.

The Struts they installed are a lil diffrent they r Red in color and have i diffrent number.
im wondering the stock ones will last or not.

Looking for some input.

thanks in advance.

if they are red then i don't think they are stock struts, Don't quote me on that but all the stock strut's ive ever seen were black. keep in mind that if you do have your leveling kit installed, depending on how cool your dealer is, they may choose to not warranty the struts anymore.

im guessing kyb or gabriel? had gabriels on my old camaro ,they were red, iirc. not a lot of choices out there on these trucks.
id say cheeseburgers right, all the oems ive seen were black too. & yes,that is pretty cool of the dealer, especially if the price for install is reasonable.
