Does the Monroe 172292 fit my Ram 1500?

It is built for select Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic front applications. Confirm your model year, cab and drivetrain against the part's application list before ordering.

Do I need a spring compressor to install it?

No. The strut, coil spring and mount come preassembled, so the unit bolts in as a complete assembly.

Should I replace both front sides at once?

Yes, in most cases. Replacing both front assemblies together keeps ride height and damping balanced side to side.

What is included in the box?

One front strut assembly with the strut, coil spring, strut mount and mounting hardware.

Is this an upgrade or a stock replacement?

It is a stock replacement. It restores factory ride height and damping rather than adding lift or performance handling.

How does it compare with a bare strut?

A bare strut costs less but requires reusing your spring and mount and compressing the spring. The Quick-Strut replaces everything in one step.

What reviewers say

Owners of Ram 1500 trucks generally report the Quick-Strut restores a firm, factory-like ride and removes clunks and sag from worn front ends. Most praise the bolt-in install that skips spring compression; a few note the ride is stiffer than expected at first and that the part is application-specific.
