Default Best place to order new struts

Front of my truck is sagging pretty bad. Should I buy a set from Oreillys or Summit Racing?

You want springs if your truck is sagging. You want shocks if it still feels like you are going over a speed bump 3 seconds after you went over it.

Either way, checkout rockauto.com. I like the moog springs and the kyb excel g shocks.

I second rock auto. They beat my price where I work and we sell auto parts. I get %5 over cost and rock auto is still cheaper.

Also google around for "rockauto 5% off coupon" and you will be sure to find a working one.

I've never ordered coil springs before. Is there anything I need to know? If I stay with stock will that level my truck back out? I'll try to take a pic later today to show how much lower front end is.

I tried googling the part number to see if that would help me and PartsGeek.com popped up. Their prices are cheaper than RockAuto and sold in sets too. Anyone ever ordered from them?

kids at school use Rock auto a LOT, quality to me is not great, unless you search it out...but the kids love them and the returns are easy, for the most part.

That depends. I was about to buy new coils but decided to rebuild my front end first (ball joints, tie rods, pivot bushings, wheel bearings, etc.). Turns out my sag was due to bad ball joints. Front end came up about 1-2 inches after doing them. Just wanna throw it out there especially if you know they haven't been done.
