UPDATE: I’m goin with the KYBs, thanks LucAllain and AndySheehan for schooling me on ride height.

That means I can afford Struts. What should I buy? There are 2 in my price range on Rock Auto. A set of KYB Excel-Gs and a set of Sensens. I’m kinda leaning toward the KYBs, but the front set doesnt specify 4WD or RWD and I dont want my front end to be higher than my rear. Also one more question, Should I get new mounting hardware too?

Here are the struts:

KYB:

Sensen:

For some reason RockAuto didnt give me a link to the actual part info on the Sensen set, so thats an Amazon link. I will be buying them from RockAuto if I get the Sensens

I know nothing about struts, is there anybody here who knows which of these are better?

No it isn’t, that’s what driving his truck feels like.

My truck is worse than that now, Hence why I need struts. And thats what you get when you google “Bouncy Truck”.

For the front the strut it self shouldn’t affect the height. It’s the spring that should make it lower or higher

Luc is right. The shocks/struts won’t affect the ride height.

I’ve always had good luck with KYB.

I would go with the KYB but that's more because of brand recognition. It's likely either would be fine since you're going for OE style replacements and you're not, presumably, thrashing it on rough roads or off road

The movie was HYSTERICAL, though this is one of the funniest parts.

Sometimes is ok. Constant or extended fast driving on rough surfaces will cause aeration and make the shock/strut fail prematurely.

It’s called Due Date. Worth the watch if you’re in the mood for a goofy comedy.
