Donahoe's are better they don't rust like Bilsteins.

Donahoe doesn't spec Dodge shocks. Did you use Ford shocks?

I got them from Top Gun Customz, don't know the part # but they are the 5100 Series Monotube Gas shocks with the 0"- 2" of lift shock for the front and 0"-1" lift for the rear. They have a few differnt levels depending on your tuck's height or if you use any type of lift's. I paid $288.00 plus shipping.

I don't know but they work great, my guy just messured them up and slapped them on.

I had Bilsteins on the rear of my Titan, and at the time they didn't make anything for the Titan. What my guy did was find the right length shock with valving he liked, then modified the mount to bolt them up. It turns out the shock he uses is Bilsteins replacement for the front of a lifted Ford Superduty. Didn't matter though because with my Deaver springs they worked awesome!

I had these on my 98 Ram. They were a vast improvement over the stockers but pretty affordable, especially when they have a buy 3 get one free sale.
