TRQ Front and Rear Complete Strut Assembly & Shock Absorber Kit Complete Strut & Coil Spring Assembly Compatible with 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 2011-2018 Ram 1500 2019-2020 1500 Classic

I was going through the regular, mainly duralast, shocks very quickly 1-2 years at best. We have a small family farm so I do put a bit of weight in the back of my 2005 Chevy Suburban. But really 2 years was the best I was getting out of other shocks which at the current not awesome prices is unacceptable.So I started looking for a bit of an upgrade and came across these at a much better price than the part stores. So first off I grabbed a Wearhouse deal (because I love them! ) so mine came in repacked and NOT pre-compressed so that made putting them on a bit more tricky. We just had to jack the truck up in stages because the jacks I had didn't go that high. Other than that they went on pretty easy. LOL It looks like I have a lift kit in the back now. It brought the rear up at least an additional 8".The less the kept up roads around here (including our driveway) are much less bone jarring to drive over now. Much smoother ride, I am going to look for front ones of these now. Some of our frequent outings are over very much in need of TLC roads and with these they were much less of a roller coaster.For comparison it took 300+lbs of animal feed in the back to bring these shocks down to what the other shocks were at brand new with no load in the back.

These were purchased to replace the rear struts on a 2006 Lexus GS300 with 149,500 miles. I wanted a preassembled unit because I didn't want to risk removing the original spring. The fit was perfect. The annoying thump going over bumps is gone now.These were delivered yesterday and I completed the installation today so I can't speak on longevity. If they fail sooner than I feel is acceptable I will update this review.

Excellent quality and easy to install. 4 months past and rides like new.

Where do I start? After ordering strut assemblies and other parts, received a partial shipment. Called Autobuffy to find out where the rest of the order was, they claimed it was delivered. After several calls and 3 days the missing pieces showed up. So now I can work on the car. After installing the struts and driving I notice a clunk when driving over small bumps. Thinking I didn't tighten something, I take it all apart again. Nothing wrong on my end. Take it to mechanic who diagnosis bad strut. So now I call Autobuffy to ask for replacement. After explaining to the customer service person, they transfer me to online customer service, who doesn’t answer the phone 4 out of 5 times. When I finally get the person and explain I need a replacement, the connection is bad and they hang up. Another 5 calls to get the online person, another explanation and they say they’ll send a replacement… no questions asked, like this happens all the time (bad parts). So on Thursday they said they would email a confirmation that the part was shipped on next business day. Friday & Saturday no email. Call Saturday serval times during business hours listed on web site (Saturday 8:30a – 2p EST) goes to hold… “Our representatives our busy, blah, blah” no one answers. Monday start calling at 9a, must go through customer service to get transferred to online customer service. Again 4 out of 5 times no answer or leave message. Left so many messages. At 3pm get the online customer service person, “Das”, who I spoke to on Thursday. Says he will send tracking number when the replacement part ships, probably Tuesday morning.Not holding my breath!

So, I bought these shocks because they were cheap and preloaded, so it was easier to install the front struts than without the springs compressed already. They work well enough and I read that it takes 1000 miles for shocks to truly break in and all I have now is 200 miles on them so hopefully they will get even better. As it is now the truck seems a little wonkier than it was, but it does make going over the potholes less traumatic. The Tacoma isn't getting beat to death going over bumps like it was. My problem is that when I go over the bumps I am always wondering what it would be like with a set of those $1200 shocks on the truck instead of these basement price shocks. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase. It seems to me that the Chinese are upping their level of quality when it comes to manufacturing products just like Japan and Taiwan did in the past... If they turn into crap I will write another review and give you guys the heads-up.

The product is of great quality and fit as it should. Great value also. I highly recommend.

I had to check my pants when hitting bumps. It was like a roller coaster and I was like they were right on the 1-star review. My wife said Maybe you installed them wrong and my ego said no way I've been installing stocks for years and these were easy to install. I was about to take them off and ship them back. Let me watch a YouTube video on the installation of these exact shocks with spring and I did install them wrong. I installed them backward or upside down. I reversed them and the ride was 100% better no bouncing great ride. The review that talks about bouncing I bet they did what I did install them upside down.

The shocks seem well made and were heavier and more robust than the original. The struts were also solidly constructed. Shocks and struts fit perfectly and it took me about 3 hours to replace all 4 components.Getting the 2 bolt pins out was the hardest part, the video makes it look easy but those things are stuck in there good. I soaked them in penetrating oil and put the nuts back on the end of the bolts to protect the thread and hit them squarely with a hammer to pop them loose.Using a second jack to raise things up was helpful to get it aligned to slip the pins back into the holes.
