So I was driving down the road at a decent 55 when I hit a rather large hump in the road, at an intersection, launching my truck. All tires came off the street and I landed pretty hard on the front end. now both struts are leaking. The truck shut off, which I just restarted no problem. My question is, are these still the only decent struts for our trucks?

2005 Dodge Dakota
4X4 3.7L

 

Rancho, KYB or Monroe. Rancho will be the stiffer of the two followed by Monroe. KYB is closest to stock. I ran Monroe. Loved them. Others, Rancho and they love them.

 

The ones on it now are the Rancho's. They have about 60000 miles on them. I haven't beat them that much but I don't baby it off road either. I was hoping someone else had made a stiffer strut than Rancho. They're fine but just not stiff enough for my liking.

 

Ranchos are the best for the jumps.

 

You can check on the RS5829. This is the model used on the 2010/2011 Dakota. As far as I have found the dimensions and mounting are identical. Body, compressed and stroke length are the same also. It appears to only be a valving difference as even the OEM top mounts are the same. Just not sure if it is softer or firmer than the 5757. Maybe Rancho can give you the info. I have these on mine and they are WAY firmer than stock.
