Detailed Description

Built for demanding front suspension service, Dorman 929-953 is a coil spring replacement for 2011-2018 Ram 1500 models with standard rate front springs. The 5160H alloy construction and constant-rate design support consistent suspension response, while the OE lift specification helps restore stance and clearance after spring wear or load-related sag. For Ram 1500 owners searching for front coil springs for heavy hauling, this part number 929-953 provides a direct-fit solution for the listed application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end sag from repeated hauling or cargo weight
• Reduced ride control under load
• Excessive body movement on rough roads
• Handling changes caused by worn or weakened coil springs
• Need for a front suspension spring upgrade on a Ram 1500

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2011-2018 Ram 1500, front, standard rate. Verify spring orientation, seating surfaces, and suspension condition before installation. Because coil springs store significant energy, use proper spring-compression tools and follow service procedures for the vehicle. Confirm that the replacement matches the front suspension configuration before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this coil spring as a suspension-grade replacement part using 5160H alloy material and a powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance. The design follows the listed OE lift and spring-rate specifications for the confirmed Ram 1500 front application.
