I don't know about you fellow Dakota owners, but my 93 Dakota Sport 4x4
needs some serious help in the payload area.....the last couple of months I
have been hauling some landscaping bricks, dirt, etc and it seems, based on
my calculations, my truck can only take about 1000-1100 pounds of cargo in
the bed. It seems that when I load this much also that it sags alot, to
where I am afraid to load any more, my 235's AT's are alomst into the wheel
wells, the bumper is very low to the ground, etc. I know some Dakota owners
swear that they can easily haul 1500 pounds in their bed, but HOW????
I have been trying to locate some bolt on helper/overload springs, the ones
that increase carrying capacity anywhere from 1000-1500 more pounds. I have
only found ones for Dakota 2WD applications though. Think I could just
order some heavier rated springs from the dealer???? I see these helper
springs all over the catalogs, but not for my 4x4!!
I would just want to load my truck up with stuff without looking like a
Nissan hauling a pallet of bricks!!!!
Thanks for any and all replies!
Kyle(rather saggy)
