Is it a long bed or a short bed. More parts will fit if it's a long bed. Some parts will fit in the cab too. I think you can make it all fit.

If it has Air Conditioning it will. Trust me I did it to mine.

if the dakota has a spoiler, it'll work. 150% sure...

I was going to try and construct a serious response, and then I started laughing at myself...

What are you trippin on bro? Molly? Dots? Boomers? We should meet and plan out this build thoroughly... :wow:

Obviously some fab work will be required but the width of the axles should work. You will need to fab up all of the frame bracketry to mount the arms in the correct position for the wheelbase you choose for the build. Just curious, what axles did the durango come with? Didn't they have a 8.25 rear?

The rear is a 8.25 but it is a 6 on 4.5" bolt circle. You could use the 8.25 from a 1987 to 1991 Dakota with a 5 on 4.5" BC or weld new perches onto a XJ 8.25.

Axle width-wise, it is about perfect. Dealing with the huge independant suspension front section will be interesting. A lot of cutting and fabbing would be necessary. I think (I'd have to look at my '87 Dak to know for sure) that the frame is a c-channel in the area where the LA mounts would attach.
