I am looking into a 97-03 body style dakota and wondering what it takes to get one on full frame. Probably run some 18s or 20s. What all needs to be done other than the obvious. I know I'll need cups up front and a four link out back. but what else needs to be done? x-members, gas tank, what else?

z the frame, raise the tranny xmember, notch the cab for 20s, prolly need to narrow the front and rear unless you get a high offset wheel. the rest is like a chevy, cept for the lack of drop spindles.

what cups would I use? and how do you go about converting one of these over to 5 lug? Do the rearends out of the early dakotas fit? and will the hubs and rotors from an early dakota fit?
