Is this strut leaking badly?

Jv · January 3

Got the rancho quicklifts on my truck last year to level it. Looks like there was some oil near the spring perch and a bit on the body of the strut. Just wanna know if it’s time to pull them, I definitely do not like the way they ride and this is the perfect excuse to remove them and put on some Fox 2.0’s.

It's gonna keep bugging you. I say just do it.

I also have the Rancho quick lifts too and so far, I'm satisfied with them. Only real issue is when going over a set of RR tracks nearby that are in poor shape, it is a bit rough. Same with some potholes but decent ride overall.

Badly would be like it was running down the side and showing a puddle on the ground.

I bet it you took some brake cleaner to that to clean it up it would take a long time to look like that again.

Yea, they’re comfortable on the highway but potholes and curb drop offs are brutal in the city. Seems to me even at lower settings it doesn’t really help the jarring feeling of hitting them. They just seem way too stiff regardless. I keep them on setting 6-7 just to have some form of rebound control otherwise they’re just way too bouncy. For the money they’re not the worst I guess.
