Tax time coming up soon and going to replace most of suspension parts. Right now currently running most stock parts with a 3in spacer. Did not do my research before I bought and installed the spacers and learning its just tearing everything up slowly.. But what are some good options I should into.. Right now currently looking at a pro comp kit and a fox shock setup for rams that a guy told me that he installed with no problem on his dakota. Not that knowledgeable about suspension parts/ upgrades so all info would be greatly appreciated.. 2006 4.7 4x4

 

Moog suspension parts. Monroe or Rancho struts. Not aware anyone has successfully installed Ram parts on a Dakota without a lot of work.

 

Yeah, Rancho & Monroe are the most popular replacement struts. And while you're working on the struts, I'd suggest getting a smaller leveling kit, max 2". Good luck fitting Ram parts on your Dakota, not sure I'd trust 'a guy'.

 

Was deffiently going with moog parts just confused on all the strut and shock stuff

 

Not too confusing, you have 4 choices. OEM, KYB, Monroe and Rancho. KYB is the OEM replacement. Monroe is a bit firmer and Rancho is the firmest. There is no aftermarket "suspension lift" for these trucks. If you are 4x4, 2" coil spring spacers in the front, lift blocks or helper springs for the rear and a 3" body lift will get you roughly 5" of lift.

 

custom coilover

 

go with the Monroe quick strut replacement, well worth the money and less aggravation then changing out the entire strut just to replace and rebuild.

 

When i did mine last summer, I used moogg complete strut assembly. I only came across three problems. 1) couldn't use spring compressor, since there wasn't enough space between coils. I used rachet straps (a death trap). 2) was a major pain in butt with 2" spacer. 3) After getting everything together, the front wheels would have major vibration when fully extended (when driving down the country hwy, hitting the little bumps and turns.) Everything was in a major bind with the 2" blocks.

After removing the lifting blocks. everything is perfect. from instulation to driving. RockAuto is where i got everything from. upper and lower ball joints, sway bar parts, tie rod ends, hub bearings, cv shafts. I did everything at once to be done with it.
