Question Dakota Help

Hello,
I'm new to the site. I know its probably been posted before but I cant seem to find it. I have a 07 Quad Cab 4.7 4x4 I want to replace the shocks with Ranchos but tech support said they wouldn't fit. I need to do fronts and rears. Just curious if they will fit or if anyone has tried them or should I go with Monroe's. Also I remember reading about something breaking when the suspension is disassembled, but cant find or remember what it is.

While I'm at it has anyone used the HID kit from hidextra? How are they?
And one final question I have never lifted a truck and thinking about a body lift what is involved and does anything need to be extended or modified.

Thanks in advance.

there are ranchos available, but i dont know the numbers, the sway bar links are what tends to break and wouldnt be a bad idea to have new ones handy when doing the leveling kit install, as far as the body lift goes, check this out... https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...body-lift.html

Hi welcome to the Forum, the 05-07 are the same shocks, just tell them your truck is an o5 and they will be able to help you out
