hey guys i had a few ?'s for who ever wanted to answer them, i have a 97 4x4 V8 club cab. i have been wanting to buy a dual exhuast(cheap) but get a nice loud sound (im 17 lol i like loud stuff) not sure what to get.
then tires was my next adventure after that and I have 31X10.50R-15 BFG's All Terrain T/A's now, and i swear when i crank it all the way right it vibrates, but not going left(???? no idea what that means) also wondering if i could get 32X11.50's with no lift (maybe the tention bar i heard about?)so yea some random questions but i dont know tos of thins about that stuff.
thanks

all depends on what u wanna spend.do a search at summitracing.com and that will give ya some choices.if u wanna hear some look up dakotas on youtubbe.com some people have put there on there showin what they sound like.as for tires if u crank the tbars u MIGHT get away with the tires u want.as for the vibration i have no idea could be a number of things maybe a bad c/v joint or bearing.

Justin - I think you must mean torsion bars. That is actually one way of doing a lift. Typically we see up to 2" extra height in the front. You should get an alignment afterward; and that may shed some light on your steering vibration problem.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Anybody have pictures of a 97 with some 32x11.50's? Maybe with no lift?

Justin - there are no "tension" bars on a Dakota, unless you are towing with a weight distributing hitch. That would be an example of bars carrying a load with tension. What you mean to say is TORSION bars - that is how the front end of our 4x4 trucks are suspended. They carry the load by resisting a twisting motion; not one in tension.
