Anyone letting the dealer fix the shocks?

[Farmer Fran]

I just read about the driver side squat. Anyone braving the dealer to replace the new shocks?

I saw a video about the drivers side squat but are you sure it’s them doing something with the shocks, vs different springs?

Are we talking about the lean in the front and wanting to add something to level it out?

 

[quietpeen]

no, from what I saw there is an over all lean to the drivers side and on the 2022 there is a new part number for the drivers side springs to fix the lean. It has also been prevalent on the regular rams over the years and is more noticeable when the gas tank is full

So wait, your truck is leaning to the front right? Pics?? I have to see this.

At about 1:30 this guy explains the 'lean':

Yea, I never expect a shock to correct a lean unless it is an air style/design shock.

So looking at my truck sitting in the garage today I do have a lean to the drivers side. I didn’t take a pic and its dark now. But I will take one tomorrow

So when its full of gas, is when it leans the most then?

That is my guess, I still a little more that 3/4 tank

 

[MO VietVet]

Lean to the right is passenger side lean.

 

[quietpeen]

Lean to the right is passenger side lean.

Correct, to try to clear up any confusion I specified drivers side

Exactly why I said what I said. Previous info had to do with a known problem that Dodge came out with a fix for but was just for a lean to one side. I just wanted to be sure that it was said that right lean is passenger side. I saw you say driver's side and knew what you meant. All good.

Hum, yes, springs. Still wondering if it is worth having it messed with or not.

I guess one of the nice things about my suspension - 4 corner air.

 

[quietpeen]

I looked at mine again and so far I don’t have the Squat. The rear is very simple to replace the spring. The front being a coil over is a little harder but still basic stuff. I did see where they replace a lot of hardware because they label it as one time use.

Looks like I inserted the pictures out of order…oh well

I used this issue to get my leveling kit installed cheeper. This Thursday is my appointment.

Basically, I only have to pay for the labor for the passenger side install. An hour and a half .
