Axles / Suspension

Front : IFS 7.25" torsion bar supported. (4x2 coil springs) Some models use central axle disconnect similar to Wrangler, others have no disconnect system. No model uses any type of locking hub. Beware of front shock spacing, its tight.

Rear : 7.25" (4x2 w/I4 and V6) 8.25 (all others) Both are sprung by leaf packs over the axle. (4x2 is sprung under the axle)

L4 and V6 7.25 and 8.25 used V8 Chrysler 8.25" HD.

* Lock Right has a Locker for the 8.25 axle.

Ratios: Dakotas came with 3.21, 3.55, or 3.90. The 3.90 is an option on all. 3.21 std on V6 and V8 3.55 std on L4, optional on V6 and V8.

is that what your looking for?
