Installation Notes

Verify front position, upper stem mount, and lower T-bar mount before installation. Confirm compressed and extended length measurements against the original shock to ensure proper suspension travel.

Professional installation is recommended for accurate fitment on Dodge Dakota and Dodge Durango front suspension systems.
