where can i find specs on my durango?

Post by: ranger11 on December 29, 2010, 07:31:48 AM: soa Is spring over axle. You have to weld new perches on in the rear and it will net about 3" of lift.

What specs do you want?

Post by: Brad on December 29, 2010, 09:41:06 AM: really just what axle i have and the axle ratio

i did a free (not sure about accuracy) vin check and it said i've got the 5.9L V8, but idk since it didn't come with any books and i couldn't find a sticker under the hood

Post by: ranger11 on December 29, 2010, 10:40:16 AM: Look on the diff cover for a tag about 1" wide and 3" long should be held by a diff cover bolt. It will tell you the ratio and if its a limted slip or traction loc

Try and trade it for an XJ, I would say a YJ or a TJ but nobody is that stupid. IMPO I would not waste the money on it. {toast}
