The Rancho catalog lists our 2005-06 Dakota as needing Front: RS5757 Rear: RS5315.

Still trying to find that rear. I got a little time before I get paid.

I would not spend any money on OEM shocks, no matter what year they are...But the springs are a possiblility. Does anyone know if the 08 springs rates are stiffer ,or sit higher?

My OEM's were replaced under warranty less than a year ago, judging by how she felt on the drive back to Troy from Maine tonight they are definitely blown again. Looks I might not be able to wait for Bilstien...

Let me know how they are once you get them, I might want to order some myself. Took my truck "off road" this weekend and bottomed out a few times and slid down some rocks. It was an old logging road so nothing terribly crazy, but I was bouncing around like crazy.
