OK, that's one of them, "Western" *dak^ru ~ "Eastern" *h2ak^ru-.

Any particular reason for connecting these two, other than the meaning?

The same reason as for dakru = akru

The 'arse' word is to be reconstructed as *h1orsos. But medial *-rs-
gives Lat. -rr-, so <dorsum>, whatever its etymology, reflects *-rt-t-
rather than *-rs-.

so the form should be HorT- (T unknown status )
Hence hort-to and t?-Hort-to
Why should it be H1 ?
What about a connection with red- "going back" ?

a "prefix" not supported by IE data is used to justify long-distance comparisons. Mark my words: it can't end well ;)
=========
I disagree with this statement "not supported".
And it sounds strange : you agreed with D-akru = Hakru
