good luck trying to find a spindle lift for you dakota guys the cheapest way to do this is to get
3 inch lift spindles for a ram truck and install them to your dakota but this is not as easy as it sounds you need to do a lot of modifications what i did was swapped over to ram brake calipers, rotors, and wheel hubs and ran heavy duty ball joints (dakota ones will bolt up to the ram spindles) i also had to swap out the rear axle shafts for ram axles due to the different lug pattern. im running that setup with the fabtech 3 inch coil and aarm lift and man my truck looks sick as f*ck im running 35 inch tires on 17 inch rims with 3.75" backspacing. it can be done you just need those extra parts from a donor ram truck similar model year any good junkyard will do.

to lifteddakota --> tell me more about your
spindle swap from a ram. I'm very interested in
this swap.

Because the rams are solid front axle, and the
Dak's are IFS, what exactly did you swap over?
Does the spline in the front hub match the stock
dakota axles?

What year is your Dakota? What year Ram did you
poach from? Any pictures of the setup? Very
interested in knowing more...
