Question Hi 2006 Dakota Questions Help!

Hello! I have a 2006 Dakota V6 club Cab and the front seats are pretty torn up. Ive found some for sale close to me that are in a 2004 Durango but I dont know if they will just swap right out easy? Does anyone know if that would work? Also will dodge ram 5 on 5.5 wheels fit my truck at stock ride height that has 245/75/16's on it now and if so what is the largest factory rim and tire combo that will fit without modding the trucks ride height?
Thanks for taking the time to read

Durango seats do not fit, totally different seats mounts. Ram wheels fit perfectly, I've had 20" Ram wheels, and currently running Ram 17" wheels now (Below).

All of you tire/wheel questions can be answered HERE.

Welcome aboard.

Don't be afraid to check with an upholstery shop. My cars seat was sagging and ripped, was only $50 to repair.

I thought about having them redone but the mech seat tilt is hard to make catch again once you release it and move. Do they come up for sale on here and can you search by state because im in SC

I am in the same situation, with the seats being torn up in my 05. I got an estimate at an upholstery shop to recover the 2 front seats in cloth. they said 2k. you read that right 2K. I have looked on Ebay, but every seller only seems to have 1 not both. It is kinda funny, I can get a used seat in decent condition, and have it shipped across the US for less than 25% of the recover estimate. does anyone know what years will work or if ram seats will work PLEASE?

The only seats that will simply bolt right in are 2005-2007 Dakotas (And I think 2008-2011 is the same too), and I think the 2005-2009 Mitsubishi Raider Pickup truck seats will fit too. Thant's it, no Durango or Ram seats will fit without modifications. I've never seen the seats in the DF classifieds, so don't expect to see them now. Best way to find seats are by checking Craigslist, where parted out trucks are listed, hopefully with pictures of the seats.

You can search on Car-part.com too.

Here is a whole front set for $65, in Alabama.
