So I decided to drop by in this forum since the Jeep community knows a thing or two about Chrysler rear ends. I've got this idea in my head that I want to do a dually Dakota, and am trying to find the best way to do it. Truck currently has an 8.25, 27 spline, 6-114.3 lug, rear end, but I'm looking for the best route to convert it to an 8 lug for the dually rims. What are my options (if any) in terms of a drop in axle with minimum compatibility issues. I'm looking for leaf pad location, drive shaft/u-joint compatibility, brakes ( which shouldn't be that difficult), and general ease of installation. Can any one point me in the right direction? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thought about this, the only problem is that the Dakota has a 6-114.3 pattern, so I'd essentially have to use 3 spacers/adapters to get where I'm going (6-114.3 to 6-5.5, then to 8), and that's a little sketchy for me. Too many places for things to come loose, plus I think it'd be a lot of pressure on the bearings in the axle, no?
