was wondering what is the best axle to put on the truck. not trying to spend to much on it tho. im new to the dodge truck life just trying to fix her up a bit

 

I will move this to the 1st generation Dakota sub-forum.

 

What are you trying to do upgrade, or replace a broken one? If you are replacing a broken one just go to the wrecker and ask for a replacement. I can't tell you what a replacement is for your truck without knowing engine size.

 

here is info on rear ends.

Tell us a little more about your truck (4x4 or 4x2, tire size, engine size, transmission, what you plan to use it for, what you're hoping to achieve by changing the axle, etc.) and we can give you better, more-informed answers. Also, your general location is sometimes helpful.
