hey guys, ive got a 1990 dakota sport 5spd 3.9v6. its got a 4 inch body lift, and im wondering how id go about doing a suspension lit, since i cant find any suspension lifts for it?

 

Your only option for suspension lift is indexed keys for the front, and either a shackle flip in the rear or spa er blocks. They don't make a suspension lift kit for them anymore.

 

ive seen people mention a solid axle swaps on the internet. any info on that?

 

Look through the FAQ2 stickied at the top of this forum. It requires alot of fab work, and if you are able to pull all your own parts from a wrecker I think it typically costs in the $2000 range, depending on what you can get your parts for.

 

Pretty much this. It really isn't a super-difficult job if you have some fabrication skills, but it's still a fair amount of work. And expect to spend a lot more money than you planned.

 

Agree with the above, the FAQ2 has a good dozen SAS's. Also the FAQ2 has lifting ideas and where to buy and how to do it. A SAS is not for those who want a cheep lift, it is for those who NEED extra strength from their drivetrains for what they put them through.

Tom A and I have both done the SAS we would know. See my signature for my swap.

Are you sure you have a 4in body lift? They only make 2in body lift, at one point there was a 3in body lift. A 4in body lift is really dangerous. I personally don't like anything above 2in for a body lift.

It is easy to get 4in lift for under $200. 2in body lift $100. Add A Leafs for the rear 2-3in $50 or so. $50 or so for an indexed torsion bar keys. All info in the FAQ2, just a few posts above this one.

 

yeh, sorry, that was a typo. my truck has a 3 inch body lift. thanks for the help, ill take a look inti it

 

and by the way, thats a sweet SAS thread youve got. nice project and truck dude. thumbs up

 

Thanks!
