maybe its a miss print because the website i saw it said the 5s are for 4x2 and the 9s are for 4x4.

Yeah, it's gotta be a mistake. I have Rancho 5000's on my 4X4, all around.

I'm getting new shocks in a week or so. cant wait. Almost 60K on the truck. It is time for the Dakota NOT to ride like a "hoopty" 1978 Cadillac Fleetwood.

You might find rs9000's that will fit the rear, but I doubt we will ever get them for the front.

On rancho's website the only thing that pops up for our trucks is the 5ks I would love to get the 9ks though

Yea I understand that the website only shows 5ks for our truck, but the rear of the truck is not anything fancy. It does not have some special brackets or anything. I have to assume that they make a simple shock that is pretty close to our specs that would work. It may take a little research, but I am sure they make something.
