Default Just bought a '94 Dakota. Help..

Hey guys, I'm new to this place. I just bought a 1994 Dodge Dakota 2WD V6 and I am wondering, how do these trucks hold up? Anything to look for? Runs great so far @ 39k miles.

I am also in need of a lift of some sort. Body or Suspension, if you have links or brand names that would greatly be appreciated.

What changed in 1997 so that only that gen has lift kits? All I found are 97+ kits.

JC Whitney sells a 2" lift that's cheap and easy to install. I put one on mine and it looks good.

With that little mileage, take care of it and it should hold up fine.
