Message:
is there any way other than a lift kit or anything like that just to beef up the front end of my 98 Dakota CC so that it dosn't feel or sound i'm going to rip it out every time i go offroad? i mean jeez, my 2wd 95 S10 felt stronger up front than my kota. do they make heavier duty parts i can swap out? its getting time for a front end rebuild anyway so i figured i'd ask. thanks.

If it is 4wd you can crank you torsion bars up an inch or so. That will also tighten your front suspension and make it feel stronger. Your ride will be a little bit stiffer on raod as well but it will help off road too.
