i got a 07 ram regular cab shortbox 1500 4x4 with a 3" lift (blocks in the rear and a 2 1/2" leveling kit in the front, i was thinking about putting the 5100 billstein shocks in the rear and procomp pro runner ss struts, part# ZX2017, they say they lift the front up to 2.5 inches, can i use them with the 2.5 leveling kit? anyone use these struts?

thanks

I'm also interested in this. I have an 06 with bad factory front shocks, springs, and cv joints, looking for the best lift method that can be done during the repairs, this shock assembly looks like the way to go.

 

yea i would like to replace my springs and everything, thats why im not going to go with the bilstein fronts, these procomp lift struts look like the way to
go, also going to do ball joints, sway bar links and bushing, and may do control arm bushings if they look beat

Lift struts eliminate the cheap leveling kit you already have, so they would have to go.
Lifstruts ride better and offer a better geometry for your front end than those over taxed and stressed lift blocks.

 

has anyone used the procomp struts? i wouldnt mind knowing if anyone is happy with them

cheap shocks. small shafts. mediocre seals. not that great on damping nor response.
You get what you pay for.

Their replacement shocks are made by Edelbrock and are just that...replacements. Their shocks that are within their lift kits are much beefier but there are still better brands out there.

 

great, thanks for the info, how about the rancho 9000 series complete struts? there more money and look to be a higher quality

9000 series is a good unit.
