I have a question about the 1st gen 1987 Dakota. I have one under my 1949 Dodge Wayfarer. Its not finished yet, I have a 440 going in it also. I sectioned the body and chopped the top, and C-notched the rear and have the lower bars for a triangulated 4 link setup done. I don't think the front ride height is low enough. I know I will be getting lowering spindles and airbags. Question is what is the stock ground clearance of the dakota front crossmember? If I know that, I can figure out the ride height with the dropped spindles. Thank you for the help.
