Default what suspension...advice

Hey guys looking to put a new suspension in my dakota

93 v6 3.9 extended cab

First of all do we have struts or shocks :P

My truck is for fishing ( rough terrain areas usually ) and going to do some offroading ( not a hardcore off roader yet as its my first truck... so we will see )

What suspension would you guys suggest for what my truck will be going through.

Thanks!

Our trucks cam with shocks.

If you want new suspension under your truck your going to have to replace everything.

But if you just want new shocks you can get them from any auto parts stores for a good price. As for which ones to buy, it depends on what you like, a soft ride or more stiffer shocks that will provide a more offroad ect.

To say the truck stock replacements will do just fine on street and mild offroad.

You said "new suspension" which would include hundreds of parts. I believe you meant just the shocks. Be specific.

Just go the with basic shocks the parts stores sell.
