I also was looking for the RS5000s from Ranch for my 92 but they do not
make a shock for the Dakota. Since they are owned by Monroe - check out
their web page http://www.monroe.com - I had the SensaTraks installed.

They did not work out well for me and I ended up the the Gabriel equivs.
But since I'm driveing a 92 and you're on a 95 the bushings may have changed
and you'll get a tighter fit than I did. At least the monores are easy to
locate and have a great warrenty.
