[TH3JUICEMAN]

Anyone been able to find the set (4) of ORP springs online for sale?

I got new fronts for sale in the sale/trade section

Search the part number in google and you'll find several places.

 

[DeDax]

I guess, that's my issue. Are they sold as a set of (4) with 1 part # or are there 2 separate part numbers for front & back?

 

[Mother]

The are all sold individually. The rears are much more expensive than the front, for some reason.

From the pics earlier in the thread:

Front P/N 68320249AC
Rear P/N 68262686AB

 

[DeDax]

wow, yea almost double the price for the rears for the few sites I have checked.

Stiffer springs will make the ride harsher. It's physics. So will lifting with 5100's becuase they lift by preloading the springs. Springs get progressively stiffer as they compress. Exponentially acording to their spring constant to be exact.

 

[DeDax]

so then, would there be any difference between the Mopar Fox set up w/ ORP springs vs Bilsteins with the same springs?

 

[LaxDfns15]

There are about 50 different PN's for the springs for some reason. My Rebel springs have different PN's than the ones listed above, but they're supposed to be the same as the ORP from what I can gather. My rears are 68370565AB for both sides, but my rear heights are over 1/2" different. Been trying to find time to go to the dealer to try to figure it out, just haven't had the chance.

I've noticed the same thing, everywhere I look has something different. I just want to compare prices for the Bilstein/ORP set up vs. just going with the Mopar/Fox. See what really gives me the best ride, performance and bang for the buck.

I did orp spring in front with bilstein all around, front set on #5, nothing in the rear just orp coil, still have a bit of rake and up about 2.8 inch front and 3 inch rear from a stock truck, mine is a 2022 ram sport, it rides good, rebound over bumps is better handles great, I also have hellwig swaybar in rear

Sounds similar to mine. '22 Laramie GT sat too low in the front for my taste. I swapped a set or ORP struts on the front, sits perfect now imo, ride is good. Also have a helwig on the rear.

Do you have a picture of this set up?

Here’s a link to a post I made about it on this forum:

Exchanged my oe front struts for a set of ORG struts I bought from a member here. Always felt that this Ram sat too low in the front, I’m quite pleased with the additional height now. Truck doesn’t actually ride any different, which was somewhat of a surprise.

Kudos to @Waterfowler41 for a piece of advice on one of his posts, disconnecting both lower stab links before I started seemed to contribute to smooth removal and installation.

I don’t have what I consider great pics to show a side by side comparison, but here is one of how it sits currently. This Lamarie sat an inch lower in the front than my ‘20 Bighorn did, so to my eyes this was a big improvement.

Thanks, that does look pretty good. Thanking about going this route eventually.

It really makes no sense to me why Ram doesn’t just put these on every 4wd. If the truck rode vastly different between setups I could understand, but there is no harshness with the ORG struts.

Forcing people into different trims or packages for more money. Why give ORP springs for free when you can include them in a package and get people to pay for them? Same reason I couldn't get ventilated seats in my Rebel. I would have gladly paid an extra $1000+ for ventilated seats to be added to my Rebel, but they wanted me to move up to a Laramie trim. At the time that was $4k more plus the different body and interior which I didn't like.
