Question for ELpolacko about the Dakota kits

Post by Wollfe »

I have a question about the Dakota subframes.

Will the newer 05-08 Dakota suspension parts fit on the Dakota kits :?:

I was wondering because the newer Dakotas have gone to the 5X5.5 bolt pattern.

No, they do not fit. I have not been keeping up with the Dakotas since they changed to the third generation in 97.
