Works the same on the '96 and earlier. AFAIK, the suspension hasn't been
changed -- deferred to the big '99 (or later?) Dakota redesign where, among
other things, the 4x4 is supposed to go to the link-coil setup used on the
Grand Cherokee and Ram. Maybe they decided to buy real computers instead
[see, I think the only reason for the coil suspension was because it's
easy to model, thus easy to figure out shock valving for].

Is the track the same on '97-later as on '96-earlier ?
