I don't think we are addressing the question here. Rancho says their struts wont work on the TRX4, so if rancho's are out of the question (which would also mean monrow and kyb) then what other option is there to stiffen up the TRX4 suspension? At least thats the way I'm readin it (and no, I have not been drinking.. : p)

According to two different dealers and what I've seen here and elsewhere they are a bit longer travel. I saw on here where one trx4 owner replaced them with monroe and had issues with 'topping out'.

Alright, looking at parts, I cant find anything different in control arms. They are claiming +1" ride height over the a non TRX4 Dakota, so we need to find out how they are obtaining the lift. Do you have a link to the thread where the struts were over-extending? If the 1" of lift is in the struts and not the control arms (ie. the control arms are exactly the same as other Dakotas) there is no reason for the strut to over extend; the upper control arm should limit it.
Heres what the TRX4 package is:
Heres what the TRX4 package is:
The TRX package includes unique five-spoke/five-lug 16-inch aluminum wheels and Goodyear Wrangler off-road tires; tow hooks; a limited-slip differential; and TRX decal on the cargo box. The TRX package is available on 2WD ST, SLT and Laramie. TRX4 Off-Road includes everything in the TRX package plus painted shocks; an increased ride height of one inch; heavy-duty service package; skid plates; TRX4 Off-Road cargo box decal; and slush mats.

Im guessing its just blocks with bigger shocks in the rear and some sort of spacer up front. I cant imagine that they would make a "long travel" control arm set up for the front for just 1" and for a package that was on a limited number of trucks. It will be interesting to see what we find out.
