First time uploading pics...
You can see the huge gap in the front wheel well.

I started an RMA from partsgeek.com
This was my first time buying from them because Rockauto's shipping was so much. I think Partsgeek is going to make me pay for return shipping. On these big struts, that's going to be expensive probably the last time I'll order from them.
I'm going to give these springs a couple weeks to settle but I don't think it will settle enough. Then I'm going to order the Bilstein replacement struts and rebuild the originals, install them and send these Moogs back.

Well yours looks like mine after I did a 3” spacer up front and 2” in the rear
One thing to remember though is that those assemblies haven’t seen any pressure on them since they were built and are probably going to take some time settling. That does seem like a huge gap though. Keep an eye on those measurements.

Really! I was thinking this whole be a good lift strut for a 4x4.
If anything though.... I would've wanted the front lowered an inch.

Retrofit or Bust
13/16" is the correct size.
Are those powerstop rotors? I actually did powerstop pads, rotors, motorcraft wheel bearings and front hubs yesterday. Hoping the brakes hold up well because the truck stops so much better

Brake motive on eBay. $260 for all 4 rotors and ceramic pads. Definitely worth a try at that price. We drive through the mountains loaded down every summer so we have to have ceramic.
Thanks! 98k miles on it. Everything works and it had brand new Pirelli's on it. Needed front struts though....

These trucks are all metric right? I had all of my socket sets, metric and sae out when I changed the front struts. I still wasn't sure. I think it's metric but strange sizes like 13mm and 15mm that I don't use often. I had to tap the 21mm on the lug nuts with a hammer then every nut gets stuck in the socket. The 22mm deep socket worked but its loose.
