The Dakotas are very limited on aftermarket support.  I have never heard of a manufactured system to swap them to a solid axle, and long arm set up.  Everyone I have known has done the swap themselves, or had a fabrication shop do it.  It is not a difficult thing to do, but just takes a little time and mechanical know how.  There are 4 link calculators out there that help you with the math aspect of a build and they are a HUGE help.  You can find one on powerblocktv.com and then go into Xtreme4x4's page.. the download is at the bottom of the page.
Hope that helps you out!

I run a 78 bronco suspension and drive train in my 98 Durango, But to do a SAS of any kind on your 2004 it is going to require a steering box swap also, But you could use a box from 98-99 or just do a swap with a forward facing pitman arm, which will give you more room to work with. Front coils are a tight squeeze if we are talking about a 4X4

I am not looking for a SAS I am just looking to lift it the way it is hopefully not much though, and all I got is the torsion bar system with a shock on each side, I would love to convert to coil springs though and lift it maybe another 2-3 inches
