Well basically you would just need to decide whether you want leaf springs up front or coils. If you go coils then you could either to do a radius arm setup or a link setup. Once you decide that it's just a matter of collecting the parts necessary and go ahead and rebuild the axle if it is needed and have it ready to go under the truck. You can always work out the front/ rear gear ratio later as long as you leave the front drive shaft disconnected until you are ready. The key is to take your time and scout for deals on your parts. Easier said than done i know. lol

Yeah, This is my only driver too. I would just struggle and how to do the steering and how to mount the link set up. Also the fact I don't own a welder.

Usually I'm a fan of duct tape but for this I think that may be a bad idea

the Kenne Bell SC was only in production for a little bit because of problems with it. I think. Most Dakota's are SC with the Novi 1000/2000.
