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.
