Hello everyone. I have been reading some of the threads here and wanted to get some input from the experts. I am currently looking at a
99 Durango SLT+ and am wondering how easy and about how much it would cost to get better MPG's and also a mild lift and protection to set it up for some light to moderate 4 wheeling. Also wondering how strong it would be to use as a daily driver and wheeling a few times a month.

Thank you all for your input, advice and expertise.

BTW, this is a GREAT site you have here.

Wayne

I have an 02 durango with the 4.7. I am a new member here as well so I dont know alot of how to fix the issues, but things I dont like are the bad stock body roll/sway and low pulling power. All of these can be corrected and I am sure have been beaten to death here, just havent had the time to research answers yet.

Other than that it is an Excellent daily driver for my wife and it does good in the snow and mud at factory settings.

Well glad to see you here. if you use the search option (on the upper right) type in words such as MPG fuel millage ext.. You will find plenty of information on this subject.

And it is easy to lift but then this defeats the purpose for better fuel milage

Hello!

If you are looking for a D, I can recommend a real nice 2001 SLT+ from Ohio.
