Default the lift

ok i was on the dakota durango forum and they said 33s and 5 inches of lift would be fine as long as i took it easy on the trails . i only go 4wheelin when theirs mudd so its not like i beat on it every day in your opinion as long as i took it easy how long to you think it would last before front end failure? tryin to see how long id have to save for sas plus lockers i have the winch and am waiting to complete the trucks lift before i slap it on.

Look Reb, in my opinion The 5 inch suspension lift that is made is not worth the money...
this is what I suggest... T bar crank it, throw on some shackles, get a 3 inch body lift kit, Then finally 3 inch suspension lift. This is your best combo In my opinion. I will find picks and post in a min.
If you plan to keep this "D" on the road I wouldn't go muddin with 33' or bigger

Not that I know of... Just save the money and go SAS instead of breaking and replacing parts.

Not true Dro. In the eastern US the inspectors are real tightasses. Anything not stock pretty much can be grounds for failing you. I personally would find a local shop that will do your safety inspection for a little more money if you catch my drift.
