Default Coil over shocks? Who makes em?

I'm looking for a set of coil over shocks for the rear of my dakota, and can't find any. Anyone know of a place to get some?

Thanks.

For the rear Monroe Sensa Trac Napa carries them. For the front there are none. You can also buy add a spring kit.

Here is a quick google pic.

Ok, one more question then. Whats the front shock part # for monroe gas-matics? I found 59329, but there are like 3 of them with similar #s, all look the same, the other 2 say for rwd only, and this one doesn't say rwd or 4wd. Is there a difference? Which one do I need?

Thanks.

Thanks! Ordered 4 new shocks and a clutch today. That with my 4 new tires soon and alignment since I put in my new idler arm will hopefully make me winter ready. Already changed all but the t-case and diff fluids.

I need rear shocks for my 93 4X4 also. It has the worn out rusty coil overs on it now. New ones are $120.00 EACH!! I was thinking about puttin air shocks on it instead: $80 bucks for BOTH Sides! Good idea? Bad idea?

Those load adjusting Monroes will also give you about 1 1/2 inch of lift in the rear over the stock shocks. I know on our Ram's some guys use them to compensate the rear for a front level.

The sensa tracs were $120 for the PAIR from advance. And thanks for the heads up on the lift... I might need torsion bar keys then.
Hey, while I've got it on my mind, does anyone make lift keys for our dakotas? I could swear I've seen em, but I don't remember where.

Here yea go!
91-96 Torsion Keys that'll give about 2-3" lift to the front.
