A SAS (Solid Axle Swap). From factory it came with IFS (Independent Front Suspension). The solid axle you got under the truck is not stock. Someone custom installed it.

There's no telling with that set up, but the factory Dakota 3.9L V6 5 speed Club Cab with 3.90s can pull 4,900 lbs according to the FSM.

Oh, you're set then! 35s and 4.56s are 4% difference on the high side of factory tires with 3.90s, so you're still over 2 tons by factory specs.
