I'd be in for a set, but haven't reached out to Eibach. Just been looking here for the results and production. Not sure how they arrived at a number because it's obviously more than just what have asked EIbach.

I am in. Did you start a new thread?

So if I want to install the Monroe shocks, I need to also get the Dorman 523-031 upper mounts? Also, do the Eibach springs lower the car more than the Road Magnets?

 

[SPANKED]

I'm awaiting delivery of the upper shock mounts and road magnet springs. I already picked up the Monroe shocks.

Eibachs are designed for the JGC so the advertised drop for those springs won't be the same for our Durango. You would expect more on a D cause it's heavier, but the starting height on JGC is not the same as a D. Road Magnets are designed for the D so the spring rates are probably stiffer for the D's weight and towing capacity. Drop is moderate 1.2" F and 1.4" R which should allow you to get back to OEM alignment specs...I'll report back on that once I install mine.

nuge, yes

Looking forward to your report and pictures. What website did you order the Road Magnets?

I have also gone through one set of mounts and shocks (replaced by the dealer) and the noise is still there.

You will be happy!!! And your right on in regards to the drop.I got 1.25" front and 1.50" in rear. Love my Magnets!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Where is the best place get the magnets?

 

[redalty]

Cheapest price will be BlackOpsAutoWorks.com. I suggest the arms also to get the alignment close to stock but not required.

 

[nuge]

Spanked. Any update on your install.

 

[SPANKED]

I had to warranty the Monroe shocks cause the clevis was bent. I hope to do the drop by next week.

I picked up my car from the dealership yesterday. They replaced the mounts and shocks again. Third time. After one day of driving, the noise is back. I do not think there is going to be a solution to this issue, unless the 2015 mounts and shocks are different.

 

[SPANKED]

Bummer, if I wasn't lowering my D I'd still swap out the mounts and shocks. $120 in parts avoids the headache of going back to the stearship and gives me the peace of mind that I won't blow another shock.

 

[nuge]

I agree. I might end up biting the bullet and lowering my D and replacing the shocks and mounts, but I am worried that it might void my extended warranty . I want to see what your experience is with the process and ride quality.

 

[SPANKED]

No need to bite the bullet and lower it, just replace the shocks and shock mount, and keep it at stock height. No reason to lower it unless you want to.

I just got my D out of shop yesterday for a Long List of repairs/updates. They replaced my rear struts and mounts and never mentioned a word about my" Purty Red Road Magnets ". I was a little worried about them claiming the Premature Failure was due to me Lowering it.

 

[nuge]

Spanked. I liked to lowered look. So that is why I might just lower it anyway.
Finelinetoys. You had them replace the rear shocks and mounts? Since you have the Road Magnets, you did not replace the shocks and mounts with the aftermarkets ones already?

I replaced my Auto leveling system with these part numbers Dorman 523-031 upper mounts and Monroe 911304 shocks, I replaced these because the dealer replaced the auto leveling units twice and the upper mounts once and I was still getting a horrible clunking noise over small bumps before and after all stock units were replaced. I asked the dealer to do this ( replace auto leveling w/ non auto leveling) and was told it couldnt be done, the service manager said he pulled the upper mounts and they were totally different. Well as usual I do not trust the dealer and ordered the Dorman mounts since they were just released 2 weeks ago and go figure, they match the Auto leveling mounting holes perfectly (as suspected) again Dealer CLUELESS. I installed these on Friday and no more noise and handles and rides like a dream....oh and no difference in ride height. Hope this helps.........

Do you tow anything with your Durango? I am considering doing this swap because my load leveling shocks won't shut up but we tow a 4,000 lb camper several times a year. I have a weight distribution hitch which would help but those load leveling shocks work pretty slick when towing. Have you noticed a difference in ride quality when towing?

Just thought I would add this to the mix. My "82 BMW r/100rt came with Nivomat self adjusting shocks, that were known to not work for .... It amazes me that in 30 years they still haven't been able to make the arn things work right. figure.
