I was asked why I would want to lift a 2wd, and not just get a 4x4. Well, I already had a 2wd, and i didn't NEED a 4x4 for the off road driving I do. I race MTB, and go rock climbing and hiking in areas where a good driver and good ground clearance are all thats needed. AND I wanted to build the truck for 1500.00 or less. I put together a body lift and suspension lift (nothing made for a 2wd), some used wheels and 31" tires for a total of 520.00. I still have 980.00 to spend on the rest of the truck. Oh, and i picked up the truck in a trade for an old dirtbike,.. runs great, and paint is next. Who needs a 4x4....

 

So, where are the pictures?

 

lets hear and see what all you did cause im interested in how the suspension lift was done. Custom fabbed?

 

Cool, ya lets see some pictures.
What did you do?
How much lift did you get?

When my truck was 2wd I did a 2in body lift and 2in coil spacers with Ram 2500 leaf springs = 4in lift for under $200, easy bolt on parts. Could fit 31's up front and 33's out back.

I will move this to the 1st generation Dakota sub-forum.
