hhhmmm... I was thinkin' I could use them to simulate the "soft and firm"
ride settings some luxury cars have. I was thinkin' that the Hardest
setting would be good for better handling and tooth removal while the
softer setting would ride better...maybe? I'll have to give Rancho a call =)
thanks for the info!

They make them for the Dak.
On my '95/CC I have the RS5000's in the front and the RS9000's in the
back.
Didn't get the in-cab adjustment for them since only the back two are
adjustable.
I use the adjustments for when I have a heavy load in the back.
Warning: the Ranchos are an On/Off Road shock, they give a much
'harsher'
(for
lack of a better word) ride then you'd get with a sport truck or passenger

shock.

Think about what you'll be using them for before buying just for the
in-cab
adjustments
(although I will admit that it is kind of a neat gadget!)

actually, I have a Ram 1500, but I don't doubt they make 'em for the Dak...
I got mine from 4 wheel parts wholesaler at
http://www.4wheelparts.com

drop 'em a line, I'm sure they can tell you if Rancho has a fit...
