Axle forgings are not a problem.
What size of rear brakes are common on 9.25" Dakota rears?
The brake book shows 9", 10" and 11" depending on the year. Do you know if the axle flange standout, brake register diameter and brake backing plate bolt pattern is consistant?
Are not the Dakota drum brakes the same as B body brakes.

Every 5 lug 9 1/4" I've seen uses standard Mopar brakes.
Do you have a 6 lug Dakota rear?
My '99 and '00 Dakotas both came with 10" drums - 6-lug.

10" drum 6 lug on my 01 R/T. I think some of the newer years came with Disks.

OK 1986 to 1990 5 lug 4.5 spacing 71/4 to 81/4 rears.
1991 to 2004 6 lug 4.5 spacing 8 1/4 to 9 1/4 rears.
2003 to 2004 rear disk
And I am almost certain that all the drum brakes are the same spacing except for numbers of lugs.
The problem is with the disk. There is different spacing requirements. Where the backing plate bolts to the housing. It is closer to the end of the housing on a drum than a disk.

I converted my '99 Dakota to disk brakes using '94 Jeep Gran Cherokee parts. The spacing was perfect. No cutting or welding required. Just had to drill the hat for 6 lugs.
I got this info from Dakota Durango.com in the wheels brake and tire section.

I did the same thing after you did. Would that hold the axle in if it broke?
