Question Putting 3inch body lift on...

i am putting a 3inch body lift on my 91 dodge dakota 4x4 and was wondering if my steering rod is gonna need an extension and is the frame gonna show so much that it looks retarded?

Yes your shifting rod will have to be cut and have a peice welded in so its longer, your body lift kit, should of came with a little peice of a rod which is ment for doing what i just said.

And also the two inch body lift doesnt really show too much frame, so i wouldnt think the three inch would be that much worse. Deffinatly get some bigger tires, that will make it look way better

My cousin has a 3in body lift on his Chevy and it does show the frame good and doesn't look good. (Looking at the frame that is)

Shift rod yes needs a spacer welded in. Possibly the steering shaft too. 2in doesn't but I can't say for the 3in.
