In 1972, the D100 received a complete redesign that lasted until 1980. With it came an independent front suspension and more rounded styling cues borrowed from contemporary Mopar cars. An extended cab was optional for the first time ever on any pickup and one of the most iconic Dodge vehicles of all-time saw the light of day; The Li'l Red Express.

Front control arms & strut rods help with taking away unwanted suspension deflection, keep better tire alignment to the pavement, and give better overall suspension performance.
