Rust Buster Spare Tire Crossmember for 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota - RB7706

The Rust Buster RB7706 Spare Tire Crossmember is a heavy-duty replacement designed for 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota trucks. This crossmember bolts directly to the frame rails in place of the OEM spare tire crossmember and is engineered to work with the factory spare tire hoist, restoring proper rear frame strength and spare tire support.

Manufactured from heavy-duty 11-gauge steel, the RB7706 is approximately 30 percent thicker than the factory design for increased durability and longevity. The kit includes a left rear shock mount along with Class 10.9 installation hardware and is built to OE specifications for a precise, factory-correct fit. Each crossmember ships with a protective oil coating to help prevent oxidation during shipping. For long-term corrosion protection, Rust Buster recommends finishing the repair with Rust Buster Rust Converter Paint RB9917. Backed by Rust Buster’s Lifetime Warranty, this spare tire crossmember provides a durable, professional-grade solution for Dodge Dakota frame repairs.
