Monroe Quick-Strut 139105 Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly for Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Why did you pick this product vs others?: These looked like a decent set of shocks. I could have spent half as much but am glad I got these. At first, my ride was as such that if I hit a hump in the road that I found my Chevy Silverado would float. One day I hit a swale in the road while in a curve and it scared me pretty bad when my truck almost left the road in the curve. I had no control at all. Durability: I think these shocks will be around long after I am gone. Functionality: They gave my truck stability that I had not remembered. Ride quality: Ride quality is very good. My Wife commented yesterday that she thought it had a better ride than her BMW. Noise level: No noise at all. Fit: Fit right on the truck like they were mad for it. Installation was exceptionally easy. Comfort: Very good ride and control.

Installed on a 2010 gmc sierra. Product was a direct fit and easy to replace. Suspension is a bit higher then before and truck corners well. For the price these can’t be beat.

These were an excellent deal for a complete strut and coil assembly. Even though the Amazon listing said it wouldn’t fit my Silverado 1500 LT, the part number matched what multiple other sources recommended—and sure enough, it fit perfectly. Install went smoothly and the ride quality improved immediately. Definitely a solid option if you’re comfortable double-checking fitment beyond Amazon’s vehicle filter. Nocked a star off for amazon saying it wouldn't fit my truck as I was going to spend twice as much on a different brand. Pros: Excellent price for strut and coil assembly Direct fit once installed Noticeable improvement in ride quality Saves time compared to reusing old springs Cons: Amazon fitment guide is incorrect Alignment still required after install

Arrived fast and bolted rite up. Definitely improved the ride and the handling of my truck. Plus a brand name for this cheap. Love it

I usually know enough about vehicle repairs to get myself in trouble, but figured I'd try this myself. It was for a 2013 Silverado WT 4x4. Driving in the northeast with salt, the most difficult part was dealing with the rusted upper bolts. Even in the engine compartment, the plastic wire clamps which sit on top of the bolts must have held the road salt. Although tight, I was able to cut them off with a sawsall from the wheelwell and grinder with a cutoff wheel from the top. the sway bar links were worn so I cut them out too and this helped with getting the old strut out and new one in. a small crowbar helps to pop the bottom free. It was tight to remove the strut around all the linkage and control arm but with a little rotation it will come out, and the same going back in. As described the Quickstrut is a fully assembled coil spring and shock. All the bolts and total length lined up perfectly. New top nuts and bottom bolts and nuts were provided. Test drive after install seemed to restore a smooth factory ride, nothing more and nothing less. All in all, a good product and relatively easy for a backyard mechanic.

Just for reference, in the past, I worked as an auto-tech, and among other things was ASE Certified in front end work. As such, I of course replaced thousands of front end parts, one of the most common being struts. Springs often don't get replaced by the customer, unless there is some indication of damage or sagging in the springs. That being the case, we most often had to disassemble the spring/strut assembly, which took more time (i.e. more cost) and added some more risk which required more precaution because you have to compress the spring with tools to change out the struts. To do that, you really need to have a secure bench you can secure the strut in, and often an air ratchet to break the nut on the top center of the strut. Since that time, I've done quite a few in my driveway as well. It's not that complicated of a job, well within the capabilities of a well prepared do-it-yourselfer. The process is fairly simple, and mostly the same for almost every vehicle, with some variations. Here is where a repair manual can help you know the particulars with your vehicle. Compressing the springs in your own driveway is inherently more dangerous, and while you can rent or borrow the tools and your local auto parts store to accomplish it, much more care has to be taken to make sure you have the compression tools securely in place. There is a huge amount of tension in that spring when it's compressed. Enough to kill you if something should go wrong. Enter the Monroe full assemblies... I ordered two of these for my Chevy Truck (probably one of the easier vehicles to do this work on). I changed them both out within a couple of hours. Not having to deal with the whole spring compression scenario in less than idea conditions in the driveway alone was worth it! Additionally, pickups tend to get more of a suspension workout due to their weight than cars do. I recently replaced my factory bumpers with full steel replacements, and wanted to also make sure the now 5 year old springs would be up to the task. Feels like I'm driving a new truck again and did bring up the front height at the wheel well almost 2 inches! The each assembly includes new nuts for the top of the struts, and new bolts/nuts for the bottom as well. They were shipped from Amazon in their factory box, which appeared to be adequate. If you are thinking about tackling this job, don't be scared of it, just read up on it, get your shop manual, maybe watch a couple of YT videos on how to do it, and save yourself several hundred dollars from having the shop do it. These complete assemblies from Monroe make it a snap if the whole spring compression thing makes you nervous. On the newer body Chevy trucks, realignment is not required after replacing these, but it's probably a good idea to have it checked. If your old springs were a little weak, adding new ones could alter the suspension geometry a little bit, and thus change the alignment, possibly enough to prematurely wear your tires, so go ahead and have a shop check that after your done for good measure. If you end up going the route of just changing the struts on your Chevy truck, and not the springs, don't even worry about the alignment.

Fast delivery, good price, had AC delco struts on my 2011 GMC SIERRA and they never rode smooth, they were rough from the start, these have a much better ride, definitely recommend

Noisy and squeaky. Rough ride . Every time I go over a bump they sound like chit . I have small speed bumps in my neighborhood and they squeak going over them to where people look over . Save yourself the trouble and get better ones

Purchased a set of these Monroe quick struts as factor replacements for my 08 Silverado with 190,000 km’s (120,000 miles). Install took 30 minutes per side (but I was taking my time). Easy to install - direct bolt up. Ride quality (following install) was an immediately improvement. Price point was excellent compared to my local parts store.

Lo recomiendo.

Fit my 2012 Chev Silverado perfectly an brought the ride height back to where it should be.

Fit perfect in my 2011 GMC Sierra

Excellent for a basic replacement strut. Got both in the warehouse deals section for a great price. My 2009 GMC Sierra rides like new again!!
