 Message:
 I recently bought my 3rd Dakota, this one a 2005 to replace my 2000.  Both trucks have the heavy duty suspension.  But the ride on my 2005 feels a lot more "jittery" than my 2000, which had 120,000 miles on it and the original shocks.  This 2005 model has only 50,000 miles.
 
 I know a truck isnt gonna ride like a luxury sedan but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to smooth the ride a bit, like replacing shocks?  I just read a Consumer Report review of the 2005 and they also describe the ride as "jittery", i.e., when I hit even the slightest pothole, the wheels just shake for a second or two before they settle down.
 Anybody got any suggestions ???
 
 Mike

 Monroe/Rancho shocks.  I don't have them yet, but everyone with the 4th gen complains and everyone who upgraded is happy.
