<< Hi to all fellow DAKsters. Due to a problem with our mail system, I have
been unable to send messages to the list for the last month. I was only able
to read them (kinda like an e-mail peeping tom). Anyway I became a DAKster
officially a month ago when I bought my first truck! Its a 1993 Dakota
Sport - Club Cab 4x4 with the Magnum V6, black with factory 15" wheels. I
love it! Perfect size, great engine, great lines. It has 94K on it and
besides some minor paint scratches, it is in mint condition.
I read with dismay the messages concerning the Rancho shock problems ( I
just put 4 RS5000's on last weekend). My next mods will include a K&N
filtercharger kit, bedliner, stereo system. I really want to go to a larger
tire also. It came with 235/75 R15's but they make the truck look anemic. (I
feel that all Dak's needed larger tires). Will 31x10.5x15's fit without a
lift kit or body mods? Will they fit the factory 15x6 wheels?
Anyway, sorry for going on for so long, I'm just so psyched about my truck
and this list! >>
Congrads on the GREAT Dakota, the year Dak you have is best! I drive a 93
Dakota Sport 4x4 V6, reg. cab. The Rancho's will do fine for about one year,
but then you might want to invest in a set of urethane bushings; they ran me
$35 for all 8 bushings when I did mine. Yes, the 31's will fit; you might have
to crank up the front torsion bars about 1/2"-1" to compensate for the 2"
larger diameter tires; but thats no big deal. The 15x6 SHOULD be ok for the
31's, 15x7's are recommended though. This is is awesome when it comes to
information on just about everything/anything related to our great Dakotas.
Good Luck
