The plan is to eventually daily drive it. I owned a 95 2wd dodge with a cummins. The size of the control arms etc is pretty burly. Id like to be able to haul a car trailer every now and again. The best setup ive found so far is a dakota ifs setup that industrial chassis makes out in arizona. A member called el polacko runs the shop and he is on various forums. From the info he has given me the stock dakota ifs unit in the late 80s early 90s is rated to carry 3300 lbs. the ball joints and upper portion of the spindle are the same as the 3/4 ton dodges of the same year. Also has rack n pinion and allows me to stay 5 lug. At a rough estimate i should have around 2500-2800 lbs over the front end with a 6bt, which gives me some wiggle room as the STOCK dakota components are rated to hold 3300 lbs. i can also upgrade the ball joints and control arm bushings with some parts he recommended that should improve the durability even more
