I got a 99 dodge dakota v6 4x4 with a 3" body lift, I was wondering if there was any way I can put more than 1 shock up in the front suspension, im tearing shocks up left an right offroad. Ive seen some kits that suposedly let you add up to 4 shocks, but I dont know how good they are of if there even for the front of the truck. Lemme know what yall think.

I've never seen anything like that. You'll have to fabricate it yourself, which really isn't that big of a deal if you can weld.
Check with a company called Pole Position Racing Products, who makes adjustable upper A-arms. They can easily make just about anything you want. That would be lighter than stock, and give you more room to work with.

Struts? You mean like McPherson struts? Can't do it. Well, you can, but it's not a good idea. You'de have to redesign the whole front suspension. The Dakota is designed to carry the weight of the suspension down low, on the frame rails. Struts move that up to the top of the innder fender. You could do it, but you'de have to design a new upper fender brace, strut brackets, etc. Lots of cost and R&D with little (if any) benifit.
