Need Help on Lifts!
Hey guys, I just recently painted my 1996 dodge dakota in camo so it's looking good. I was looking for lift kits and there seems to be nothing for the 2wd 3.9L reg cab model and it's driving me insane! If anyone knows websites could you post a link? Thanks

Nope no lift kits but you can piece one together your self.
Get a 2in body lift, it says 4wd but it will work on 2wd all you have to do different is to cut and weld in a 1in spacer into the steering shaft, most muffler shops can do that for you for cheep.

Next is to get 2-1in coil spring spacers per side for the front (you can try to fit 3in total 1-1in and 1-2in). http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MRG-1287/
Next is to get leaf spring add a leafs that will get you 2-3in in the rear.

4-5in lift for under $250 now that is better than any lift kit. All of these are in the FAQ2 which has more lifting ideas.
