Maybe a fab shop that makes suspension parts for pre-runner type off-road trucks would have something? You could probably find someone to make a set for you, but it might be costly.

Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth.
Some of us are so open minded they only see their View

Those are for the 1996 and older Dakotas. They won't fit the 1997 and up Dakotas.

If you scroll through the website, they offer them for the earlier trucks, too. They look pretty beefy, I would be curious about their weights.


It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

Call Carl Gerst or contact him on Facebook, this is something he may be interested in adding to his line up of kits.

Wow, I never knew tubular arms existed for 97-99 Dakotas. Looks like this will be my summer project!

I called airbagit to find out the weight because they looked pretty beefy to me also he did not know the weight but thinks they are heavier than stock.
