Gears and winches

Hello all-

New to the list. Got a new 98 dakota 4by and recently had 3.92 swapped
in for the 3.55 it came with. I oredered the 3.92s but the factory
messed up. Noticed now at 75+ I get a bit of noise that wasn't there
before. Anyone else running 3.92s and getting noise/vibration at that
speed. I know I'm not supposed to go that fast probably, but I didn't
expect that much of a difference. That's the only change.

I want to add an integrated winch/wrap around push bar. Warn makes them
for the Ram, not sure for the dakota. ANyone added a winch out front
yet? How did the front end hold it? Did you tweak the torsion bars to
maintain ground clearance?

Lastly, I also ordered the heavier duty rear springs, but think I got
the softer ones. Probalby goingto upgrade, should I go straight to
aftermarket. The dealership already lost about $3500 swapping in the
gears, I figured I'd do the springs on my own.

Well, tread lightly and thanks for any help.
