you could get 1500 springs, i have been askin around hear on what springs from different models will work, you can use the 1500 or 2500 springs but will have to be the same size leafs as the dak, the 2500 will give you lift in the back though, i dont know if you want that or not

Your door tag should list the rear axle rating, which will tell you what spring rating you have.
I think the max for daks is 3000# which is maximum because the axle itself then becomes the limiting factor.....so if you have one of the smaller numbers, you can go shopping in the yards for a set of heavier springs. I have been under lots of dakotas, never seen a set of 3000#, but according to the factory brochure, it was an option for 1995 at least...
I have a chart somewhere that shows leaf lengths for the 2 shorter leafs, the heavier the load rating, the longer the leafs.

BTW, pretty sure that only 3 mopar vehicles had front segment main leaf length of 24", FMJ cars, ramcharger, and dakota. Ramcharger has shortest REAR segment length, then dak, then FMJ.
I wouldn't be getting leafs from FMJ cars, unless from the latest years, 88/89.
Of course, you can always get them long, and cut to suit your needs....

No the truck is a 2WD so i wouldn't want the rear to be lifted. So if i put in Ram 1500 leaf springs it will be stiffer?
