Default suspension lift for the DURANG!!!!! question

hey guys. i have a 2001 dodge durango 4x4 slt 4.7l engine. i was wondering WHAT suspension lift i could get for the sucker!!!!!! i cannot find any. the rancho 3 inch lift says its for the durangos except for the manual and awd versions. my car isnt a manual but on the dash i have a switch to 4wd hi and 4wd low normally its switched onto awd mode. im guessing that means my cars awd and then im able to lock the diffs together when switching. any ways any help??? thanks!!! i can only find lifts for the 99 year durango. and i rather not get a body lift cause i dont feel like adjusting everything etc.


thanks

Mickey

Do a t/s lift for $50. It is good for 2" just do a search and you will come up with plenty of results.

i found the bars and the bolt that needs to be cranked. the bolts already look like they have been screwed in already. or is that just how they look? i got the car in 2001 with 17 miles so its all original suspension. they are the long screws pointed upward screwed into this orange colored piece.

The t-bars are going to be be screwed in and 2 more inches won't hurt anything. Also stock height shocks will be fine for what you are doing. I personally recommend some bilsteins but rancho are good as well. Just a little more $$$.
