I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on OME Struts, HD springs front and rear, and monroe load levelers for the rear shocks. (Can you believe the wife even oked it?)
What else do I need to get so all the suspension parts are new? I think I need spring isolaters (says to reuse OEM) Is there anything else directly connected to these parts that I can/should replace? (Still hunting down some noises I don't like and pretty sure my struts are worn anyways)
When I did my OME I put on new isolators, bump stops and strut mounts.
Are there two isolators per strut?
And are strut mounts really $85 each?
bump stops are only on the rear right?
Where did you get your parts?
Yup, upper & lower isolator for each.
Bump stops are the yellowish things.
Think I got the strut mounts for around $50 each....
Most parts were ordered from RockAuto.

On Rockauto it looks like the strut mount comes with the upper spring isolator am I reading that right?
RAYBESTOS Part # 5201476 Professional Grade
Contains Spring Seat; Bearing Not Included; Front
Whats the story with this bearing that isn't included though?
Sorry might seem simple, but I just want to order all the parts and have them here and not need to run all over while stuff is disassembled or have to wait for other stuff to arrive before completing the project.
Hmmm... ill have to take a look at that. Wont be home from work until 10:30ish though tonight
When I got my OME - I used the isolators that came with stock suspension - nothing else is actually needed to enjoy this beautiful upgrade - not bump stops, not upgraded uca's, nothing - slap on the lift, and enjoy. My rule of thumb has always been to replace as needed - and when you replace - might as well upgrade.

Yeah whoever typed that Raybestos description probably screwed up... that part will work and it does come with the upper isolator. I ordered the Moog part just because im a fan of Moog suspension parts, and its only $5 more
MOOG Part # K160050 strut mounts + upper isolators = $34 x 2
RAYBESTOS Part # 5771713 Lower isolators = $11 x 2
Jounce Bumper 52089347AA = $15 x 2 (from mopar online store)
... So ~$120 to have 100% new components up front... dont have to worry about a worn out strut mount or isolator needing to be replaced and tearing it all down again.
Plus, you don't have to take apart the OEM assembly. I put my OME struts together one night, then it took me no time at all to throw them in; actually, at that point the installation takes less time than a spacer lift.
Well everything is ordered.
OME HD with Monroe F150 rear shocks, new bump stops, new strut mounts, and new isolators.
I guess in a week or two I'll have it all installed.
What did you do for the front struts?Originally Posted by hoaxci5
n/m I read the OP more thoroughly
