Those shocks are all for lifted applications. The only 3rd gen I can think of that could make use of them is the one on Car Domain with the one-off suspension lift from Chassis Tech.

Nothing against you Handy, but this come up so often it is pitiful...

The only manufacturer at this point who says that the will makefront shocks is Monroe, and even they don't know when they will actually produce them.. they keep pushing the date back....

Monroe isn't the only one. I have spoken with Bilstein by phone (I believe superdak has too) and they will be releasing front shocks for our trucks. They told me they're hoping for 3rd quarter of this year on the phone, I emailed shockwarehouse about them and they expect the price to be similar to other Bilstien front struts they sell (the example they linked me was roughly $95 each, I think it was for a Toyota truck).

I see by these posts others have gone looking for after market shocks for the newer Dodge trucks.
I tried it also and found none. I first went to Bilstein as thats what I ran on the old 96 Ram 1500 and
I really liked them. Dramatically improved the handling.
I find the stock dampers on my new 2007 to be somewhat soft for my taste. I like a taught controlled
ride but not too harsh.
