Do my 40's fit without a lift?

It's been a long time but we're finally back with another build episode on the Super DUkota!
In this episode, I try to make my 40x13.50R17 Milestar Patagonia M/T's fit under the 2002 Dakota without lifting the suspension and still allowing for full flex of the coilovers. Do they fit? Anything is possible when you're willing to cut some fenders and anything else that's in the way...

Glad to see this project keeps moving forward.

Thanks for watching! The project has come a long way, the videos not so much 😜

Awesome to see another video, excited to see more! Really has me wanting to do a solid axle swap on a later second GEN Dakota. I don’t know if I’ll do the no lift 40s but I might do a little bit of lift. Thinking about a reverse triangulated 4 link for the rear, rather than leaf spring to help keep the articulation up.

[@WebWheeler]

A little lift would definitely make life easier haha. This thing will eventually get a 4 link in the rear, although the leaf springs get a decent amount of flex for what they are. Thanks for watching!

Have a 1996 Dodge Dakota with a 6” suspension and a 3” body lift. You have inspired me to try again.

[@WebWheeler]

Sounds like a pretty sweet rig! I kept this thing as low as possible as mostly to challenge myself and because I have little kids and a short wife haha. To be the most practical for off-road use, I'd probably add about 3-4" of suspension lift and maybe a little body lift to get the transfer case up higher. If you like what you've built, that's a success. If you want to change it, make it happen and have fun 🤘Good luck man 🍻

Love the build thread. I’ve been wanting to something similar to a 4 door Dakota and have been looking for one to build. Every SAS one I see is so damn tall.

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks! Appreciate it. The low ride height has made it awesome on the road, even without sway bars. Might bump up the ride height an inch or two for ground clearance but haven't made a decision yet. Either way, it's a lot easier to go up than lowering it so might as well build as low as possible. More videos coming soon!

[@nathanwheeler3645]

Im super pumped that you have kept going with this build. I have a 98 durango that will soon be ton swapped and your videos are a very good example of exactly what i want to do!

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks man! Let me know if you need some measurements or stuff love that when you get started. Sounds like it'll be a sweet project!

[@stephencocke66]

I just bought a Dakota and I have a 05+ superduty front laying in the weeds. Love to see more progress

[@WebWheeler]

The truck is driving- the videos are just way behind haha. Another video will be out soon though. Thanks for watching!

[@moralobjection4836]

I was excited until I noticed it was a 4 door with the crapo motor. Now I'm feeling bad for you lol.

[@WebWheeler]

The feeling is mutual

[@Rick-4552]

I had a 02 Dakota since new 160,000 later it was still goin with no issues , I regret selling it . Best truck I ever owned

[@WebWheeler]

The longer I have this thing the more I love it- I'm driving it regularly now (videos are way behind!) and it's a great truck

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

Great to see you still working on it !!

[@WebWheeler]

The truck keeps getting worked on (it's actually driven almost daily at this point,) it's just the video editing I suck at getting done haha. Thanks for watching!

[@zekeosborne9684]

Subbed awesome build bro

[@shed_mfg]

Always excited for another web wheeler video

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks for the support! Working on another one now 👍

[@moejr14]

You should post some videos of you wheeling your rig

[@WebWheeler]

Definitely on the way- trying to wrap up build videos first but need to get my butt in gear with editing haha

[@bartholomewhorrocks3750]

[@slowfox89]

Fantastic work. Keep it up!

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks for watching!! Appreciate it. More to come 👍

[@theregoesmiller389]

any updates coming for this build ?

[@WebWheeler]

Yes! I have the next build video and a video of the first drive almost done editing 👍

[@theregoesmiller389]

@@WebWheeler hell yeah ! thanks !

[@thomasguzman914]

Wooooo new video!!!

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate the support. Hopefully I don't make you wait quite so long for the next video 😂

[@imemovengeance]

What state did you move to?

[@WebWheeler]

Moved from CA to Oregon, and have since moved again to a different spot in Oregon haha

[@robpedrow9293]

Great to see another video on this project. Loved the pep talk as it is so true that when you have other priorities in life, these things seem like they can take forever, but just keep taking little bites and it will get done when it gets done (as if they are ever DONE)!

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks for watching! Yeah never done, just currently in one piece or not 😜

[@deleglen]

thanks

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeepindave5464]

I always forget about the build, but im glad to see it continue foward. 😂

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks for sticking with me and the project! I'm trying to get videos out more regularly. The truck is way further along than the videos show haha but I have plenty of footage ready to edit
