time to spend some money :D
SO I need a few things, starting off with the brakes.. going to replace all 4.. anyone have any advice or recomendations on what brand to buy looking for amazing quality and performance, and i have a pretty mean shake when slowing down from highway speeds anyone have any input on that.. and than I want to get ranchos all around what model or part number is the one i should look for.. once i get the ranchos all around, the 2" leveling kit is next, are most on ebay reliable, fairly priced, i know there mostly the same but any particular brands to watch out for? and then what kinda motor oil is perferred around here? im sure u get asked alot but im sorda wanting to switch to synthetic, but not overly convinced it makes a diffrence worth the swtich.. this week i want to get the brakes, ranchos, leveling kit and motor oil changed, possibly fuel filter and any other things, it went in for a lube up when i bought it 4700kms (323XX kms now) ago so its ganna be the first time i take the wheels off and get under it and see whats goin on hopefully no suprises, everything looks pretty decent tho... oh and one last thing, where can i find this sonnax pressure line booster I dont like the way it shifts from time to time and want to see if it makes a diffrence.. once i get most of this out of the way than its superchip all the way...

Leveling kits are all pretty much the same. Just decide on if you want in or over the strut style.
I went full synthetic about 10k miles ago. I have not had any problems. Your truck has low mileage so you should be fine switching. The only difference I notice is now I change my oil every 6 mo/6k miles instead of 3 mo/3k.
You can find the sonnax pressure boosters on ebay.

The sonnax only works when your under wide open throttle. You will not notice it under normal driving.
Daystar is the popular 2" leveling kit around here.
Rancho front struts, part # RS5757, rear shocks # RS5315.
When ordering from a website, be sure to put in 2005 Dakota. For some stupid reason that is the only year that show as compatible, but they will fit your truck for sure.
I have them and that's what I had to do.
Running Dyno oil myself, so few miles go on my truck that I change the oil twice a year.
Brakeperformance.com slotted and dimpled rotors and pads is what a few of us guys have, no complaints here.
