Message:
just a couple of quick questions:
first, how do i tell what springs my dak has now? i don't have the factory window sticker(bought used), and was wondering because i work for u-haul, which requires taht i do a lot of towing, especially in the summer, with a lot of the trailers weighing between 1500-2000 lbs.
Finally- what is the easiest upgrade for my current springs? overloads, or new spring packs altogether? i have seen a lot of overloads where the rear end is jacked way up in teh air, and that's not the look i want on the truck, if possible i want the extra payload without looking totally ridiculous....
thanks in advance
mike

Dakotas are rated to tow trailers up to 2,000 lbs without any mods. just a ball inserted into the bumper. 200 lb tongue weight. If you have a trailer package then you can tow more weight. look under your hood and see if you have a transmission cooler. there should be a sticker in your glove box that lists options that you have.

Also, what type of dak do you have? engine, rear end 4x4 4x2?

The all V8 daks can tow above 5,000lbs ,ex the R/T that is at 2,500 I think . You can have a spring shop replace the springs or add a leaf.
