Default Got some cash!

finally got some cash to play with, im looking to tune up my dak. I've bought new rotors and pads and im gonna tear in the drums next week.
whats the best plug for the 3.7? and as far as shocks i do alot of towing and i guess you can say im not easy on the dak, so Rancho's? or Monroe?
and where should i get them.

Yea i wonder the same for the monroe's over the rancho's if you have a leveling kit. I have the leveling kit and block kit in the rear and was thinking of replacing all 4 shocks with rancho's in the future.

Rancho 5000's here with a leveling kit, very happy with the setup. Rancho front struts (#RS5757) usually go for $90-$100 a piece, rears shocks (#RS5315) are about $50 each. Got mine at streetsideauto.c0m, arrived at my door 2 days later.

I like my front Ranchos with the TM kit installed in the coil. I picked up the Ranchos for $160 shipped from autopartswarehouse, and I got the spacers for $30 off of another member. Labor was the killer.
