The Dakota is also a spring under set up, so you would have to weld on new spring perches and shock mounts. Plus the 93 would be the 27 spline version. You would want one from 97 up so you can have the stronger 29 spline axles shafts.

You can get 6 lug rims but you would still have 5 lugs up front. That would take up a lot of space trying to carry 2 spares on the trail.
