I have a 2006 f150 that I put a add-a-lead and 2 1/2" leveling kit on about six months ago and it sat withing 1/2" of level andabout 2 months ago I noticed a broken strut so I replaced both front struts with monroes that i bought from rock auto and at the time the truck looked to sit atleast close to what it was before the level but now I looked and its seemed like the front was extra low and I measured and the front is sitting 3 inches lower than the rear so it dropped atleast 2 inches. Is it normal for these struts to wear out that much that fast

 

Bump

 

Something doesn't sound right. I have a 2.5" level and my Monroes are about 9 months old. They are still sitting where they should. I wonder if a shop has the ability to pull the struts out and test them?

 

Struts do not hold up the front end...coil springs do..

I'm assuming he bought Monroe Quickstruts so they come as one brand new ready to install package.

 

I understand that but the fact that the front is sagging would not be the struts it would be the coils

 

I have never been a fan of Monroe products. I would try calling the Monroe tech support team. It could be that the spring has weakened.

We are seeing better results with the Rancho brand.

 

Sorry to thread jack. I was thinking about the Rancho but my concern is I have a 2.5 leveling kit and with my tire and rim combo if I lose any of that height I will rub. Id like the quick struts but I might have to settle for the 9000s struts and find a spring compressor
