My 2k dakota with 125000 miles needs new struts and i'm looking at the 21.99 ones at Autozone. The Gabriel pro guard. Basically cause one more purchase at autozone and I will get the 20.00 bonus thing so the next shock is basically free. If you have a recepit with subtotal of 20.00 or more ill take it lol if it wasn't used.

 

we dont use struts on these trucks... just shocks, leaf springs, coils (4x2 only)and torsion bars (4x4 only)

 

I meant shocks lol. Just have a bad headache today.

 

the other guys on the forum like the monro reflexs or skyjackers (as mentioned in a previous thread)

 

Im sure there are better ones, but Im also sure the Autozoner's will be awesome compared to your oem 125k ones...

Gabriel dosent make a bad product at all actually..

 

if your looking at owning the truck for more then a year from when yuo replace them....id look into a name brand shock.....autozone-anything dont really last more then a year......but there are a few products that DO.....its up to you...


go cheap...get cheap

 

i've got a brand new set of toxic shocks waiting for me....

 

Gonna try em and see. I am not sure how long I will have the truck. If it ever needs engine repairs over 1000 i think i'll just get a new vehicle and trade the truck in.

 

Lol my old shocks were so bad that when you press them in they would stay in. Now gabriel ones are doing great for cheap ones so far.
