The etrailer Hitch item # e53AR installs to your 2004 Dodge Dakota with the following bolts:
2 - Carriage bolts - 7/16-14 UNC,1-1/2,GRD8,YZ
4 - Carriage bolts - 1/2-13 UNC,1-3/4,GRD8,YZ
You can replace these bolts along with the rest of the hardware using the Replacement Hardware Kit item # RHK. You would need to go to the right hand side of the product page and insert e53AR where it asks you for the Hitch Item Number.
