Default 94 dakota to 98 durango body lift

does anyone know if a body lift from a 94 dakota will work on a 98 durango???
i only ask because i can get my hands on a 94 dakota 4 wheel drive with a bad motor that has a 3 inch body lift, black rock crawler rims, and 33" super swampers for $400....i really wanna lift my durango and if this will work then im gonna go ahead and get it
thanks

It porably will work but you may need more body spacers or differnt kind of bolts. Also you mayhave to cut and weld in a spacer for the tranny shift rod as well as steering shaft posibly! Check how many body mounts you have and what kind of bolts. I have a 93 dakota with a club cab. I think there is 12 on mine. I think there is 8 on a single cab. You can buy indivual spacers directly from the manufature there like $10 each. And if you need differnt bolts you can buy them just about anywhere like napa or carquest and pepboys. The only other thing is you will need bumper brackets to move them upwords too. Im sure they sell them for your truck. So I think you could still save a good $100 or so by useing it. If not im sure you can sell it to anyone. They dont make the 3in for the 1gen dakotas anymore just the 2in. I know I would love the 3in insted of 2in.

well im gonna do what i can to see if it will work.....if not then i will just take the rims and tires and sell the rest or take the body lift off anyways so i have most of the parts....
i have plenty of rod sitting around so cutting and welding an extension for the 4x4 selector isnt a problem....
oh and i did find out that the dakota is a standard cab....so i probally will need more pucks
