Shocks for non lifted 1500 DT's

[deanfx]

I get frustrated with the fact that I cannot buy non lifted shocks from Fox, Bilstein, or Rancho for my Ram. I guess they wait for each other to manufacture first.

Lol yep. King says 1-6 months, haven’t talked to the other brands (I want Kings)

I’m very surprised that fox is taking so long.

Have you thought about rebel Bilsteins? Can’t be much longer than the standard ones

That's a great idea. I wonder if I would have to purchase from Mopar?

I would give you mine, but no one has replacements lol.

If it were me, I’d look on here for take offs or if you want new, source the part# and eBay them from a volume dealer for cheap. I just got 4 oem TPMS sensors on there for 70 bucks.

Op you need a set of factory shocks for your DT if I am reading this correctly? If so I have a set that has less then 500 miles on them.

Thanks, are they Bilsteins from a Rebel? Or??

No my truck is a Laramie, if you need Bilstein that I can not help you with.

 

[deanfx]

Yeah, I'm looking for something other than Laramie OEM's. Fox would be awesome, but **** lol

Curious, in what way are the shocks failing to control?

They really aren't that bad. Bridge expansion joints have some axle bounce where as Bilsteins in the past were a bit softer in the rears on my previous trucks and absorbed more of that instead of hopping on my daily commute. Hope that makes sense. Just looking for a softer ride in the rears.

Gotcha. Have you tried adjusting your tire pressure?

Nah, I run about 35 in the back on Nitro's. My F150 had the same issue until I went with aftermarket and a shock that was softer and less rebound.
