what size tires? what size back spacing on the rims?


id just take the flares off and cut some of your fenders and forget em

 

you can get a cat back exhaust for about 130$

 

they are 30-9.50-15 and i'm not sure the backspacing how do i check that??? do you knwo what dakota leafs to use??

 

i could be wrong but i think like 89-95 dakotas, 4 or 2 wheel drive

back spacing is the measurement from the back side of the rims mounting surface to the back side of the rim

im guessing thier the stock rims right?

just take the flares off

 

alright i will check into the leafs someone told me it would lift the rear end like 2 inches is this right??? also i am looking into getting new rims and tires a little down the road will this affect it?? and do you knwo of a way i can check at the yard to see if the leafs will fit?? thanks for the help butcher

 

the leafs will fit if they are 2 1/2 inches wide and 52 inches or shorter, but if thier not you can just cut em

it will give you any where from 2-3 1/2 inches from all that i hear

what size tires you getting later?

 

I just recently bought a set of Dakota leaf packs for $50. And I got my ZJ coils for the front for $40. Not sure in other areas but this is the cheapest I found them in Mid-Michigan.
But I do know that one of the JY's in my area wanted to charge me $100 for a set of leaf packs.

 

either 31's or 32's. know of any good on/off-road tires that wont wear quick in that size that arnt over like 130 a piece??? and i onle need like 2 inches in the rear just to get it leval for now i think it had a rough counntry lift and the rear is sagging now. from what i hear that is common. so if you knwo if the dakota leafs will leval it or of any other was to help get it leval that dont cost the same as a lift????

buy a set of all terrains and a set of mud terrains and it will cost the same as a set of bf goodrich mud terrains or any other name brand tires but you will get more miles out of two sets

lol, by the way butcher how do you get to work with a blown motor?

my bro has a lil nissan pu that hes lettin me use, my credit card shal be here by the 23rd and im getting a brand new 360 for the dodge for 1300$ and a 4.7 acurate power stroked inline 6 short block with a blown piston for 800$ that has about 2500 miles on it, the guy had a stage 3 mopar racing cam and a jet chip and a demon chip and one other comp chip and it messed up the comp and messed up the injector on that piston thats why the piston got a hole in it. aj has boughten from the guy and said he got a good deal and product so i trust the guy

also getting a divorced np205 for 200$ , once i find out how that will work i will get a chevy or dodge d60

but maybe before i get that dual xfer cases set up and a d60 with pass drop i should get a lift first right KINGSIZE ?

 

I used leafs off of a 96 dakota, They are 2.5 in wide, and I didn't check the length. I just cut the eyes off with a chop saw and slapped them under my stock top leaf. They gave 4.5in of lift, but you could mix and match with the stockers till you get the right hight. I also left the shackles on when I got them, because they are longer than stock. And since they were still on the spring, the knucklehead behond the counter didn't charge me. I bought my springs for $20 a corner.
