The mini Dodge ones they have listed on their site are for a D-50. If you
look at the part numbers and compare it to the ones for the
Mitsubishi/Montero you'll see they are the same.

>Mike,
>Yes the TM Lift is a nice $1300 and another $800 for installation, so it is
>a bit pricey for me too. I hope you hear that Sway-A-Way does make 'heavy
>duty' tbars for our Dakotas, and please do let us know once you hear back
>form them. You are correct, Rams do not currently have nor have they ever
>used torsion bars on the suspension. I just thought they made only tbars
>which are splined and not hex shaped tbars which our Daks use; but like I
>said and I hope, I hope you find out they do make a tbar kit for us. That
>would really be great news!!!! I know what you mean by 32s being overkill.
>In all reality, I think a good set of 31" all terrain tires should be able
>to get you and me both through just about anything. Plus, with running 31s,
>you wouldnt really have to worry about a gear swap to compensate for the
>larger tire diameter. Some power might be lost off the line, but compared
>the 32s the 31s are more user friendly. Just my opinion, but for the money
>they want for the AT/S tires, you could get a heck of a better all terrain
>tire.
