Default I just bought a 1994 dodge dakota and plan on lifting it

I just bought a 1994 dodge dakota and I plan on lifting it around 5 inches. But I have run into a major problem, I have been to over 20+sites and I can not fine one in at least this height or close to it that is compatible with this truck. Is anybody able to help?

There are no lift kits available. Rough Country made some and there's occasionally...rarely a used set that pop up. Rears easy for the front...You can crank the torsion bars, get reindexed keys, and I think that'll net you between 2 and 3 inches at most. The rest pretty much has to come from a body lift. Sorry to bear that bad news

But also if you do a modest lift you'll be able to cram larger tires on it which will in turn give you a bigger lift. And I firmly believe the best lift comes from tires. The FAQ at the top of this forum tells you how much lift you need to fit X size tire.
