Help me out please.

There is a flat washer and maybe a 5/8" nut holding what looks to be my passenger side front shock in place. It is next to my turbo. There is a busing in between the shock mount and flat washer that keep going bad and I dont know why. Do you know anyhwere I can get a replacement or tell me exactly what this part is. Is there anything special you have to do to remedey the problem? I am no mechanic by any means so any help would be great.

You may be able to find some used rubber groments, washers and nuts at your Dodge dealer. It sounds like they may not be properly tightened or some one may have installed the wrong ones. If you are still running the shocks that came on the truck it may be time to replace them.
I see you have a lift kit so you aren't running the stock shocks. You may need to look at running a strap to limit the travel if you don't allready run one or it may not be the right length.

it's called a limit strap, but i seriously doubt you need one unless you've been doing stuff like desert racing (taking whoops at speed). what shocks are you running, and are they made for 4" of lift?
