I'm looking to add an inexpensive lift to tthe dakota. Its a 99 sport 2wd v6 3.9l. I was wondering If I could take coil springs off a dodge ram 1500 or 2500 and get those to fit on a dakota? I assume that they would and that I would need to use either the ram shocks or longer shocks? Could anyone tell me if this can be done or any other ways to swap coil springs from another vehicle to give me 3 or 4 inches of lift? I figure after that I can put blocks in the rear and have a cheap lift to give me some added height. Let me know thanks

not to be rude but i have a feeling this is something that has not been talked about and seems fine to be placed here.. as for op's question. measure your coils(width) and compair to a ram..

 

awesome! i tried to search my topic and found little results. Nothing told me if anyone has done this with success or not.

 

offroad josh thanks you rite I cant find a thing on this.

 

anyone else have any imput on this? I've tried googling this and havnt been able to find squat. JUst trying to figure out besides swaping 4wd dakota v8 springs in what would give me at a kinimum 3inches of lift or more. 3 to 5 range is what i'm looking for

 

Go to the parts store, and ask to look at one of each. (hoping they have a set for each on the shelf. Check the diameter of the springs on top and bottom, and if they are the same, should be able to drop 'em in.

 

heyyou how i have missed your info since I switched to the dakota side. Thats a good idea because I kept saying to myself how I didnt wantto have to take everything off at the junk yard just to meausre the coil springs. I will definitly go to the parts store and check this out. thanks for the help
