2014 rear shock question

[Shawnbirdie]

I recently bought a 2014 with 50,000 miles on it. After only having it for a couple of weeks I noticed the front right shock was leaking so I bought a new pair on Amazon and had my mechanic put them on. (Mid perch) Should I go ahead and buy the rear shocks as well or wait for them to start leaking?

Did you have improved ride?

 

[Shawnbirdie]

Much better. The mid perch raised the front 1 3/4 inches so it’s level now.

Yes, replacing the rear shocks will result in less hopping on uneven road surfaces. Especially noticable on high speed turns.

They're probably toast. I get mine rebuilt locally (I'm in CO too), but I've found it super handy to have two sets so that you can have on set being rebuilt and not have your truck down.

Short answer, yes, at 50K I would.

Thanks. I’ll probably buy a new pair then have all four rebuilt at some point.
