Thanks!

Quick question: did the front suspension change in 2010? The Moog struts are listed as use on 2005-2009 Dakotas. They don't list any struts for 2010-2011. I did a quick check and the Monroe quick struts are listed the same way - only 2005-2009, nothing for 2010-2011.

 

Nothing changed.

 

Why did you replace the Rancho's? And the Moog struts are better than the Monroe?

 

mtnman82 - all of the parts I got were Moog through Amazon. I got swaybar endlinks (K750263), stabilizer bar bushings (K201621), tie rod ends (ES3571), upper control arms (CK620006). I plan to also get the Moog quick struts (ST8623), Moog wheel bearings (513229), and maybe even Moog lower control arms (RK620479/RK620478). It might all be overkill, but I really want a better riding front end and figure since I am in there I might as well replace it all.

 

Cool! Thanks.

 

Rancho's on all 4 corners. Ride is definitely NOT too stiff. In fact, front could be a tad stiffer for my tastes. Original shocks/struts (red in color) were shot. Rides much smoother than before. I also put on new tires, proper LT 265's, so I'm sure tht has something to do with it too.

You MUST use stock/OEM upper strut mounts with the Ranchos. The Moog upper mounts did not fit. I did have the Moog lower strut mounts pressed in with no issue.
