Ok guys, I'm sure the first comment will be to search. However, in my searching, I have come across 2 schools of thought, and I don't know which one is correct....

1) Buy shocks 2" over.

2) Buy original length shocks (I read that due to the extra length of the shock that it can bottom the shock out easier?)

In school of thought #1, I haven't had much luck find 2" over shocks for the '07. '05 and previous it's easy.

In school of thought #2, that's obviously easier, since it's the stock length.

I have the HBS 2.5 level spacers on my '07 QCSB 4x4, and I want to get the correct length.

So can someone point me in the right direction?

struts...and yea its hard finding the 2+" struts...if it was 2wd you could use 2500 shocks

 

Yes, you are correct, they are struts. So no one has suggestions?

look at fatbobsgarage, or call them

its heck finding the longer struts, you will have to order them online I'm sure

 

Well, after calling Fat Bob's, Rancho, and 4 Wheel Parts, they all said that if using a coil spacer, use a stock length strut. If I purchased the readylift shock from Rancho, or the 5100 adjustable from Bilstein, it would replace the coil spacer.

So, I think I'm going to go with the Rancho 5000 (RS5788) for the front. The truck is mostly a pavement queen, so I don't see any need to jump to the 9000's.

Unfortunately, everyone seems to be sold out of them. Apparently a lot of Ram owners received Rancho shocks for Christmas?!

Look into Moe's performance for the shocks and SHockwarehouse too. They should have them and usually are the best priced too.

 

Moe's Performance had 5 in stock, so 2 are on their way to my place. They had the lowest price and free shipping too!

FYI - Shockwarehouse.com was $42 higher per shock.

 

whew, thats alot PER shock....

glad you got it resolved so fast

 

I agree, Matt. Actually, about $140 is the general going price. Moe's had them for $108, and 4Wheel Parts had them on sale for $108 also, but they didn't have any in stock.
