its got a shackle flip in the rear and drop coils in the front on the 16x8 2nd gen wheels. i pulled the rear bumper kuz it had the typical rust under the chrome and it was gone. its got the posi rear end w 3.55 gears and i put a 3" exhaust with a thrush welded muffler dumped before the rear axle. the windows are 5% and the interior is currently gutted so i can repair the floor and then its getting herculined under the carpet for sound/heat insulating and future rust prevention

 

My dak

 

Its about time we see some pics Fox. Lookin good! I like the tires. Lets see some more pics. Any muddy ones?

You should cut those U-Bolts. I left mine hagging once and bent the to hell when I was offroading once. I had to use a cut off wheel when I did the 4wd swap. And maybe tuck in the wires.

 

lol when I was posting these I seen that too and was thinking ya I need to clip those off just forgot about them. Yeah I love pro comps very good tire I got about like 5,000-7,000 miles on them and they still look new! and they come with 60,000 mile warrenty.

Went mudding last year took pics then camera got stolen > haven't been mudding to much this year still been a dry season but rain will come.....

 

Tim, from Edmonton Alberta, Canada here, i don't have a dakota at the moment, but will most likely have one in the morning,

for now though, i'll entertain you guys with a picture of my current on and off road rig........a 1998 dodge neon.....

yes, you heard me correctly, i drive a neon both on and off road....

the picture was taken one summer morning after it rained, while i was trying to get to the parking area on my construction site.

at the time, i figured that since i got out the previous night in heavy rain, i'd get back in no problem, but i picked a bad line and hit a soft spot.

the hood is only up because i nearly overheated trying to get out, and wanted the car to cool off.

i ended up waiting till first coffee for my foreman to tow me out, LOL

 

Nice trucks guys.

I'm from Margaretville New York btw, truck pics to come soon hopefully.

Fox, I would actually leave the tire stance just the way you have it, with the lift you have it should give you better corner handling then a thinner stance. If you ever get worried about paint chips from rocks flying off the tires though, I would go with some wider fender flares.

 

Here's mine 91 Dakota 4wd 3.9 V6 5speed. 143 on the clock. No rust runs great. Last pic is my Dad's 91. It used to be mine. I need some center caps.
