thanks PFM!

I got a 89 Dakota suspension. maybe the 85 through 88 ram will work for me.

You need the hub/rotor from a 85-92 ram
calipers for the ram were the same from the 78 to 92 for sure. as far as caliper brackets I have the brackets from a 85-89 but brackets up
to a 92 should fit? and possibly brackets as early as 78 might work
