Cool Body lift

Does anyone know what steps to take for installing a body lift on our "D"s. What would a shop charge to install the b-lift

The folks at hackshack on the web it's http://www.hackshacktexas.com said it would be $430 to install the lift. they are down the road from me so I may use them one day. inside their shop the have cars that they have done rims and such. Good folks.

Thumbs up

That seems a little pricey. I had a set of lowering springs installed on my 240sx which I had before this and it was $150. But I've never had anything lifted so I guess I wouldn't know I guess since it's not just springs it takes a little longer...and labor is money haha.


That black durango on the black wheels looked awesome,for sure what I would like mine to look like. I'll be camping here in about 2 weeks in some backwoods spots. First test for the 4 wheel drive!

Hey thanks. good luck on the 4 wheelin test. I plan to go for the same look as the green with the 33's. I may even go 22's and 33's if the wheel well permits it

Well if the wheel well won't,modification is always an option haha. Could make a fun DIY thread about it.

Well I'm sure if it was detailed enough it would be looked at by them. Just a step by step. I think I'm going to to a T bar crank this coming weekend or when I get time just to see if I like it or not.

Thumbs up 1998 durango

I had 33X14.5X15 on my stock 98 durango for a long time and the only rubbing i have had was a lil on the front bumper (only on the plastic)but i trimmed that out and on the rear plastic interwhell but it so small i didnt even do anything to it now i have a 3" body lift and 35X12.5x15 on it and i had to trimm out about 3/4 of an inch on each side of the tire on the
fender flare in the rear and about 1/2 on the front i have been offroading for 9 years now and i have had my fair share of trail truck an this 1 has by far been less to lift and play then any other one other then a toyota 4runner but the 4runner has no ***** and dodge built these thing tough
i offroad all the time and this thing just wont break
