I sent KYB an email inquiry about our gen and shocks. One of the sales guys wrote back saying that dodge changed the suspension from last gen and that they're working on getting a product out there for us. But he said he didn't know the timeline...

Just thought you'd like to know!

 

I give them....

two years.

 

you know by the time that happens we can design our own...whatcha think? get a DF shock in progress...lol

 

i talked to ALL the shock guys at the Off Road convention. and Jimbo can back me up on this.. they said "the Dakota just isnt high enough on the sale to rush to get shocks for them made."


I heard that from about 99% of the companies i talked to.... I will believe it when i see it.

 

I say, what we do, is compile a list of ALL the threads, since the beginning, stating our problems with the front shocks, into one HUGE email...

Send it to all the companies, at the same time, in the same email.

And state that DF, as a community, will say that whoever is the first to produce these things, and have them be a superior product, will more than likely bank major, from the sales.

That may just be me, however.

 

that sounds like a good idea.

 

yeah i think that would bea great idea but still it would take a year before we see any kind of progress!

 

I'm not even gonna try to hold my breath on this one.

Even if anyone tries to tell me there isn't a Dakota market, I will laugh in their face. These trucks are everywhere.

This may sound lie a dumb question.

Has anyone tried to cross reference the stock specs on our shocks with anything that is currently being made for any other vehicle? A good friend of mine runs an auto parts store, if this hasn't been done, I'll burn a favor with him and have him look into it.
