Cool! Nice truck. Welcome to DF. What are your plans for her?

 

HI, I'm razor rc's dad, so the plans for this rig are as follows, get all the majors sorted out first, brakes, trans, carb, ect. 235-31" AT's and nicer looking wheels. Repair the rust, and repaint. Gonna have all this done except maybe paint by end of this summer. FUTURE: custom bumpers, sliders, 4" blockless suspension lift, D44 or D30 SAS swap, 34"-35" tires, 8.8 or 9 1/4" rear with locker/LS, 4:10-4:56 gears, 231 or better xfer case.

I'm a MoPar guy from way back, owned 4 or 5 Ramchargers, and lost count of cars, now running Jeep XJ's. This is our first Dakota 4X4. Other son has a 92 Dak 4X2 old school pro street project.

 

Cool! In the FAQ2 we have several links for SAS's and a 9 1/4 rear end swap. And lots of lift options. So all of that can give you lots of Ideas. If you needed more info then thats posted in the FAQ's go ahead and ask.

 

We're going dana 30 out of a jeep yj and use those springs. Then like my dad said use a ferd 8.8 or a chrysler 9.25 under the rear. we may crank the torsion bars and put blocks under the rear for right now.

 

here are the flex pics
