Thanks for the info walter, you page has alot of hepful stuff on it. What
do you mean exactly by getting a few spare cab mounts and where do i get
them?? Also i wanted to know the radiator hose side so i could get some
PVC or one of these flexible radiator hoses before i took everything
apart. I'll let you kow how the lift turns out.
BTW
I just found a page you may be intrested in on how to buld up a dodge
dakota it says why you cant put a trailmaster lift on some of the older
dakotas...
