Shocks??

[yogibear]

What should I go with? The OEM's are shot, especially the rears, they are leaking. Bilstein and Rancho's aren't available yet for the 2 wd dually's. Guese I'll have to go back with the OEM's for now. Sugestions PLEASE!! TIA,

Why would the rears not fit 2wd and 4wd alike? There's only a mild height difference, isn't there?



I put my RS9000X shocks from my '01 onto my '03 and they fit great and work great too.

All the places I contacted said they were not available for the 03 2wd 1 ton dually yet. I'll keep trying. There must be some reason they aren't listed in their parts book yet, I just figured it was because of the frame and suspension changes.

Here is an e-mail I just received from Rancho about shocks on the 2wd 1-ton.



Thank you for your interest in our Rancho products. Unfortunately we do

not offer an application for your 2003 Dodge 1 ton 2wd at this time.

That's the the same answer I got a couple of months ago!!



What's the hold up?



Maybe if we keep asking, they will get the message.

I called Bilstein hd. qtrs. in Ct. yesterday, and got the same answer. The rep. said he would get back to me as soon as he found out when they would be available, thats more than Rancho told me. I guese I'll just bounce around on the air bags for a while.
