Give the Rancho tech line a call. If it's available, they will know about it before anyone else. Once you find the part number, you can get any aftermarket comapany to order it for you.

Get it for DakotaUSA, I think he still has them for the best price with shocks.
No you can not put a 99 lift on a 2000. Front ends are different.

Chris,
I have been thinking about this lift also, but I already have rancho 9000 shocks on my stock heigth 02 dakota 4x4.
can I use this lift with those shocks? I wish I knew the part #'s for the shocks but as a retailer that should be an easy one for you.
thanks in advance.

That kind of sucks.
that is a deal breaker for me. I have too much invested in this setup. Can't justify another $1600 and then have to do the shocks again. Forexfore thanks for the feedback. Do you think I could get a double shock setup with this lift? that might get me interested in redoing the suspension.

Cant help you there but I found that when I got my lift people will want your Old Rancho's. The price on the lift is pretty good considering it includes shocks. I know the lift is pricey but for that price it is worth it.

I agree Donny!!!! I did some good off road action and put on over 900 miles this last weekend. A few spots really put the pressure on the front end and it holds up under pressure very well.
Glad to hear you got some pounding in!!!

Hey forexfour, glad you had a good weekend. I will be doing a 1200 mile road trip for the holidays. I am curious how this lift will ride at 75 mph, mile after mile. Also cornering on mountain highways. I know around town I have lost a little giddy-up turning bigger tires, need to see what it's like when you are behind a slow ass rv, on a hill, with a short passing lane. LOL This is my first lift ever, so on road or off road, I am going a little slow, just trying to get the feel.

Donny,
As long as you do not have the 4.7 get the superchips programmer to give a bit more boost and correct your speedo. It is a great thing in my opinion. If you have a automatic then it will really help out with the shifting of the gears. I found on my long trip with the MT's on the stiffer I set the shocks the less vibration I got at 75 mph. I actually road back on the stiffest setting since I had mud creating a out of balance situation and I noticed less tire vibration almost none than the trip down set on 3 out of 9.
I still have large chunks of mud falling off as I drive down the road. I gotta clean that crap up!

Hey jaggy , I`d like to buy your shocks if you`re interested in selling them if and when you decide on the Rancho lift.
Let me know and I`ll give you my e-mail.

Scott, I have 2 extra 5000's for the rear right now. I have 4 9000's with the in cab controller.
If I do change out the suspension I am keeping the controller and going with the appropriate 9000's again. give me your email and I will think about it. I will make you a deal on the 5000's though. I started with them in the back and 9's up front, then added the controller and well on from there...
I was considering doing a double shock setup all the way around, but now I have to decide if I want a lift or not. So expensive...Lift, tires, shocks...I have to at least wait until after the hollidays.

That`s cool , I`m really looking for a set (4) of 9000s with or without the in-cab controller.
I was quoted a price of $99 ea. for the shocks from my local tire guy. Like you , I was going to wait untill after the holidays.
If you change your mind with the 9000s let me know.
