    I just bought a 2005 that came lifted already. The front right is leaking soi am thinking about replacing it. Anyone have any ideas on what shocks shouldbe used to replace the old ones?

    Id rather not take the old shocks out to find out the dimensions because Iwill buy the replacements online rather than an Autozone…

    We need some more info...what kind of lift is on there? Spacer, body, full suspension, etc...

    5100's are what I personally recommend. After installing them last week, I can tell you there is no better bang for the buck.

    I am not too sure what it has on it. I believe it was either just the shocksor an added leaf in the rear and shocks/springs up front. I know it is not aspacer or a body lift... I can’t get any useful information off of the shocksas they have rusted and are grimy...
