I had a 96 Dakota ext cab and I used all S10 brackets to bag mine. One problem that I found was wheel choices. In 96 they used 6 lug wheels and they only fit Dakota/Durango and Viper. I had 18s but I zd my front to make it lay all the way. I didnt have to modify my control arms.

Dime cups should work. To completely lay out you'll need to z the front x-member. If not, that will lay first and hold the rest of the frame up.

You can swap your rotors, calipers and rear end over to a 91 or earlier dakota to get a 5x4.5" bolt pattern (same as a mustang, ranger ect.)

Look through the dodge forum here, there are a few threads that have pics of the z you need to do.
