I want to add 6inch of lift... I have been looking through the fourms and there is no 6inch lift kit available. I have also looking at some ones long arm kit and boy what a build it was. I have a full shop decent welding and fab skills. So I was wondering what approach you guys would use... I have a 07 dakota and a full parts truck and a 96 ram1500 with a solid front I just don't know what route I want to go. I don't need amazing flex or a smoth ride as I don't drive her often. I am looking into a sas however I don't like are front end octagon pillars. Might just build some custom a arms drops and then figure a way to drop the front diff.

Depends on what you want to use the truck for. I built a custom long arm IFS and i love it. SAS would be cool too, though. Front octagon members wont be a problem.

So just an update.. last night due to humidity I had some orange peel but got good coverage after 3 coats. So now I'm wet sanding hoping to shoot clear tonight. Then I'm gonna work on my bumper I'm going Baja style bumper. The car show is in 2 weeks so I got a lot of work to do.
