Struts

I think i need more durable struts, ever since i put prg leveling blocks up front my struts keep going bad. I think the stock rancho struts cant handle that extra lift. I was wondering if better struts would be the answer or are any strut going to go bad from the lift. Any suggestions

Re: Struts

$1150 for the pair I beleive was the price last I checked and no you don't have to do anything to the back if you don't want to.

Re: Struts

Since this thread is already started.

I just scored some 315/70-70s to put on. I purchased the PRG leveling kit sometime last year and have not put it on yet. I am now contemplating just getting a set of coilovers instead to level the truck and provide a better ride. So I have the following questions.

1. Is there a preference as to whether the DRs or Fox coilovers are better I mainly drive the truck on pavement since I have a dedicated off road vehicle. However, I do sometimes go off road.

2. How would the Bilsteins work on the back with either set of coilovers?

Sorry for the hijack, but figure it is relevant.

PRG says the DRs are the best, and he sells both

In order for the Foxes to work, Greg had to modify them to work in the stock location. The DRs are ment to work as an exact replacement, so there is no need to modify the Foxes any more. In fact, Greg only sells the Foxes as add ons to lift kits I believe.

I am pretty sure that Greg rated both coilovers fairly evenly with maybe a slight edge going to the DRs.

Re: Struts

DRs + Bilsteins from PRG

http://www.prerunners.com/titan/

Simple bolt-on replacements for the stock shocks.

Re: Struts

Congrats on the goodies! You won't be disappointed! They're a cinch to install yourself and you can always call Greg for help over the phone. Oh, and check out the pics in the link down in my sig, the instructions are fine but the pictures are small and not very clear.
