Revainrating 5 out of 5

All 2009 Ram 1500 owners need them!

I was a bit skeptical at first but my son persuaded me to buy them for my 2012 Ram 1500. I installed them, set them to 7 and liked them. I installed them the same way I installed my Rancho RS999944 (L) / RS999930 (R) Quick Lift Loaded stays in my truck. Set everything to 7 and the truck will stop rolling and behave like it's on rails. Tips and tricks for installing on Rams. Please read to the end - you'll save your wits by buying a 22mm crow's foot from Lowes or any hardware store (I couldn't find a 21mm crow's foot). Don't pay a lot of money for it either - you'll see why below. Starting on the passenger side: Remove the top shock bolt) b) Use a 21mm socket on the outside top bolt c) Use a 22mm crow's foot (the closest Lowes had) on the inside top bolt . You need a small extension cord. d) Use 2 21mm sockets on the bottom) Reverse process Driver side: a) Don't worry if you find the gas tank is in the way b) Take out the two inner fenders/fender liner/wheel arch liner - 10mm Bolts (You will need to push in. c) Start with the upper shock bolt. d) Use only the goose foot - just slide it over the inner top nut. You don't have to try to work your way through the gas tank. Just climb to the top of the shock tower from the front. he is tight e) Use a 21mm socket for the top screw. When turning, the goosefoot gets stuck, so the bolt comes out. f) Use 2 heads 21mm for the bottom. g) Reverse the process. Note - assuming the houndstooth stays up - if you tighten the top screw it will go into the bracket. leave it there It remains on the bolt until the next shock absorber change. Just start on the driver's side when changing these shocks. A little frustrating because on the previous generation Dodge the engineers actually built something into the upper shock nuts so you didn't have to.
