For sure. And remember, you cant take any of it with you when you die.

Those mud flaps should look slick on your truck! Bust out that rattle can and dont forget to take pictures!!!

Good news is I didnt even spend that much money on my front end. I basically traded my fastman for the new grille, and the headlights are off eBay. I found a right and left on 2 different listings, but both are Mopar part numbers. I only hope that they are about in the same condition .... for $175 I figured Id give it a shot. It's way better than buying the knock offs for $177. I'll have REAL NIGHTRUNNER HEADLIGHTS!!!!

Sorry for getting off topic on the thread.

The ones from Mopar can be found for anywhere from $40-$50 .... check eBay or online dealers for the best prices.

Backwoods has the 2500 leaf pack in the back of his truck. You would probably be better off going with those if youre swapping. They are 3/4" longer than stock Dakota leafs.

1500 should have the same leaf exactly, so for a stiffer ride you can use 2500 leaf they have 1 ou 2 leaf more and Rough Country shocks in the complete leveling kit from them 199$ but i suggest you not to match them...me im using stock leaf with rough country shocks and i think its too stiff...but road in canada are really bad.

do you want it leveled???

yea i want level the front but whoever had the truck before i did must have put a lot of weight in the bed. ok here's a question- on a stock 05 dak are the leafs suppose to flatten out at the tips? its almost like there was too much weight put in the bed. my helper spring is fine, but the curved leafs are flat at the ends. is that suppose to be that way or am i correct in thinking there was too much weight on my poor lil truck?
