That just pisses me off evenmore about any alleged aftermarket support for Dakota.

Monroe must be having development problems in their front shock design to set back delivery another six months.

Maybe Bilstein will get theirs out in the mean time. HA!

Don't be countin' them chickens before they get hatched!!!

Some are saying the 08 has new revised stiffer shock up front. Nope! I have a copy of the 08-service manual and 05~08 suspentionsare the same part for part from the pictures and descriptions. If for some reason, the P/N is different than we need to investigate this. Some say it isn't Dodges fault the shocks are crap. I disagree. The shocks are made to the design spec. from the factory. Travel dampening and valve rates, materials are a factory spec. to their vendor for the OEM part.
