Lifting question
Hey all, I have a 95 Dakota club cab with the 5.2 V8. I wasn't planning on doing much to it because I had intentionally got it to tow my jet ski. However, I am wanting to fix her up and make her pretty.
I would like to know what the easiest way to lift the truck, and can it be done by myself. Anyone have a good write up with pics to go with it.

Its the 2wd. I browsed the FAQ and and saw some of the posts about body lifts, but am unsure about what it means to add a spacer to the steering shaft. Thats why i was wondering if anyone had a specific DIY thread on body lifts with detailed pics and whatnot. Thank you for the reply, Ill post a pic of my truck tomorrow

Yes you can do a 2in body lift. Which the spacer is just a piece of metal pipe the same size as the steering intermediate shaft which you would cut and weld that in between to extend the shaft.
For the front suspension get 2 - 1in coil spacers per side. For the rear get an Add A Leaf kit. 2in suspension + 2in body = 4in lift for under $200.
