For headlight just get clear corners. Looks clean and really good.

As far as tires what kind of tire are you looking for?

Pictures of your truck would help us make suggestions so post them up. Plus what kind of truck? 2wd im guessing but motor? trans? cab?

drop kit i dont think will for for you, it is for the R/T, which has a SUA setup out rear. idk for sure but i think that the other dak's had SOA rear suspension. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

"Fits on:
97-03 Dodge Dakota V8 w/ 3.0 inch Outer Diameter Rear Axle"

go find one for your sixxer. there has to be a difference if they clearly specify that it is for the V8.

im almost positive there is no difference, except maybe in the spring rate for the coils
and only the 4x4s have the SOA

new development.........

the truck tops out @ 103 3K in fifth. this is simply unacceptable. looks are going on hold. a buick regal smoked me, and a new camry kept up.

i dont need a 12 second truck. i need something that wont get dusted by clown cars!
