Default ram suspension for lift on dakota?

Has anyone had a look at using the upper and lower A-arms and coil/shocks from a full size Ram? It's common with the Nissans doing a Titan front end swap onto the Frontier for lift and strength. If I get out of the house today I'll find a Ram and take some measurments. Just throwing it out there if it would be possible. Thanks

even if that stuff will fit and bolt on, there is still the big problem of the cv shafts, they really wont go any further than the limit of the stock upper a arm, the 3rd member wou,ld have to be lowered, and looking at that, it would be a PITA. but 2wd could eaisly be lifted a lot more...

Not possible. Ram front end parts are much larger than Dakotas.

The Frontier and Titan share the same platform, Dakota and Ram do not.
