First, I haven't found a manufacturer that makes cut-out flares for the
Dakota. The only flares I've found at all is the Bushwhacker set that mounts
to the existing wheel well opening. >>
DOH!! Damn, guess I'm gonna hafta go with a 2" body lift on top of the 4"
Trailmaster kit. Geez, six inches of total lift! That's a bit of a change!
Guess I really need to look at doing the gear swap too, did someone say 4.10s
or 4.30s are available for a '96? With 33" tires and a V6, which ratio am I
gonna need? What are the costs involved for a gear swap?
Then getting the speedo recalibrated somehow...this is gonna be one heluva
project! Can't wait!
