Rust Buster Rear Frame Repair Kit Right for 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota - RB7701R

The Rust Buster RB7701R Rear Frame Repair Kit is designed for the right (passenger) side of 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota trucks with a 6.5 ft bed. Engineered primarily for 4WD applications, this repair section caps the rear of the frame rail and extends forward past the rear leaf spring mount, restoring strength in a common rust-prone area. For 2WD trucks, new spring mounting holes will need to be drilled during installation.

Constructed from heavy-duty 11-gauge steel and built to OE specifications, the RB7701R includes Class 10.9 hardware for the rear spring mount to ensure a secure, factory-correct repair. Each kit ships with a protective oil coating to help prevent oxidation during shipping. For long-term corrosion resistance, Rust Buster recommends finishing the repair with Rust Buster Rust Converter Paint RB9917. Welding is required. Backed by Rust Buster’s Lifetime Warranty, this kit delivers a durable, professional-grade solution for restoring the rear frame of your Dodge Dakota.
