Default Dakotas at work

Went to homedepot and ended up buying just short of 1500lbs. She's squatting but hardly noticed it. Post up any pics you have of your dakota working hard. 0924131715.jpg

I never got a pic of mine loaded completely up with mulch (parents picked it up and had 2/3 gone before I got off work) Only of me towing my brother total 02 Sentra.
We couldnt get the car off the trailer (dead battery) so we just put my tow strap on its mangled rear bumper and the other end to my grandfathers old giant satellite dish base and just floored it haha




I got hte Monroe Load Adjusting Shocks, and its only ever sunk about a inch, or 1 1/2 at most.

Fully loaded w/camping gear. That's about as level as it gets.

Don't get the wrong idea about my lowered truck, this truck works a lot anymore. It's the "big stuff" parts runner at my work. Draggin *** at least once a week.

But here's the best thing it's ever done for itself. When I first took delivery of the Hemi motor. Still had mopar factory labels on it, my eyes were the first to see it since it left mexico in 2006.

Agreed, the complete drivetrain of a fullsize ram, with just slightly softer springs and shocks. Not much lighter either. My 2wd weighed in at 4700lbs.
