I have a 1990 Dakota that I would like to install a larger high performance brake kit to. No one makes a kit for the 1990 dakota, but there are some kits available for newer models. What is the differance in newer Dakotas, and can these kits be adapted to a 1990?

 

Anything can be adapted with machining.

If you want direct bolt on then probably not. The geometry for the 97 up is totally different from the 96 back.

 

i think its jegs, they sell rear disk breaks for the 1st gen dakotas for i think for around $637 american, i'll check on it later on 2night

 

i checked and its jegs, that sells rear disk break conversion kits for 1st gen dakotas, there $679.99 american

 

Yea thats rear only. As for the front, I know 97 up stuff wont just bolt up, it would require modification.
