FAQ
What is the ZOND4601?It is one preassembled Zone Nitro front strut for a compatible six-inch-lift Ram 1500 application.
Is this strut sold as a pair?No. The manufacturer sells this item individually and states that two are required for the front axle.
Will it create a six-inch lift on a stock truck by itself?No. It is engineered for use with a compatible Zone six-inch lift system and is not a complete lift kit.
Does it fit two-wheel-drive trucks?The current Zone application specifies Ram 1500 4WD trucks within the listed years.
Is the damping adjustable?No. The manufacturer specifies fixed vehicle-specific damping.
Is the coil spring already installed?Yes. This is a loaded strut supplied as a preassembled spring-and-strut unit.
What mounting style does it use?Zone specifies OEM-style upper and lower mounting points for its compatible lift system.
Is an alignment required after installation?Yes. Suspension service should be followed by a professional alignment and a complete steering and suspension inspection.
