Looking for a place in the east side of the valley where I can find front struts for this truck! 2” lift!

Anybody experienced in this area?

Do I get the loaded spring/strut or just the strut?

Kinda in a bind looking for someplace open Saturday that has this in stock!

Napa will have a strut that is complete with the spring but it won’t be for a lift, you may be able to pick up a spacer at a 4x4 shop for the lift.  Ranch or bilstein make a full assembly with lift but I’m not sure who would have them in stock, I’ve ordered mine on amazon in the past, couple day shipping.

Oh, also, I recommend getting the full assembly, compressing the spring is a pain in the butt unless you have a good spring compressor which most people don’t.  I had to change mine in the middle of no where once 🤦🏻‍♂️

Driving down a two tracker scouting for antelope in July.  Going about 10, hit about a 6 inch rut in the road, truck popped up out of the rut and before I even hit my brake a loud boom!  Truck come to an abrupt stop and I couldn’t turn my steering wheel.  Turns out both my front shocks exploded and my tires were now shoved up into the wheel wells and my skid plate was on the ground.  Had to call a buddy to come save me, it’s good to have handy friends!!!!!
