Here is what I got:
http://www.totalperformanceonline.co...ayout_0100.xsl

I know it says lowering kit, but what they do is reindex the hex keys 30 deg from stock, so depending on what orientation you install them they will either advance the keys 30 deg or back them off 30 deg... Basically they'll work as either lift or lowering keys.

I'm thinking of buying an '89 4x4, will the keys from total performance online work with pre-91 Daks? I'm assuming so but I wanted to make sure. And what orientation would you install them in to get the lift? Looking at pics I'm not sure how you'd install them in a different orientation, unless they're side specific?

Yes smokey68dart 33s will fit with the key lift and body lift. There are a few lockers for the 8.25 rear end. I belive arb does have one. I have the PowerTrax No Slip. There are a few places listed in the FAQ2, where you can buy them. The tracktion it gives is unbeliveable. The front axle is strong for stock but by thowing in a locker may cause some brakeage when in a tuff spot. A nice hood will finish the job. That one listed above would look good. There are a few more hood sites in the FAQ2.

I would think it would work for pre-91s. Here is a site where he installed the full supention lift. That kit incudes the same keys 91- up would use. See if he talks about it. http://www.walt-n-ingrid.com/modifications.html

So, just to clarify, the lift keys are identical between the first gen Dakotas and the second gen Dakotas, making all the keys the same from 1987-2004?

Thanks!
