Dodge does (or at least did) have an R/T version of the Durango in years
past. Not sure if they are still in production, but it might be worth
checking into. I know they had the 5.9L motor in them; the wheels are
definitely a different package (bigger), and I think I remember that the
suspension was different as well, but I don't have any details...

ALMOST bought a Dakota R/T instead of the Integra GS-R <-- now for sale.

>From what I hear, the Dakota R/T's have a low tow rating, mainly due to the
lowered suspension. Apparently they bottomed out before the non R/T. I
still would be tempted to swap R/T parts over,and add airbags. You might
want to consider different shocks than the OEM R/T, just because why not
upgrade while it's apart.
Or you could hook it up with some 22's and hydrolics and slam that beotch!
So, Anybody else puruse lowrider magazine in the grocery store? :)
