dont rams and dakotas use the same front unihub? But then brakes might conflict. Rear axles and brakes could be re-drilled from blanks at any good gear/axle/race shop that has a splining machine.
That would be opening a big can of worms.
OR
Some dakotas have the same 9.25 axles as the ram 1500. You could snag a 9.25 axle from a dakota (so the spring perches are correct) and put the ram 1500 rear brake package on it. You'll need a proportioning valve going from the dakota drums to ram discs. That would get you the ram lug pattern and better brakes at the same time, on the back.
If the fronts use the same unihub, get the ram unihub and get front discs re-drilled at a shop for the ram lug pattern. Unless ram and dakota just happen to use same front brakes (diameter and face offset)...which I very highly doubt.
