Well they both have a C205F on the front side and nothing else I can see other than the 2003 which came with a different front knuckle only on a optional over sized front braking system so as I see it this should work. However, you have been warned.

I phoned Rancho before coming on here.
Because the kit has been discontinued for over 2 years they've junked the notes so they couldn't tell me.

I dropped the rig will all the parts off at the shop yesterday.
They seem to think its the front drive line. A new one may have to be made.
My local dealer seems ti thunk the subframe & A arms are all the same

Will know in the next few days if it works

Fingers crossed

I have been wanting to do the same thing for a while now, but could not find an answer. Thought I read somewhere that it had to do with the transfer case, but I am clueless. Let us know if and how it works out, I would love to know.

the lift kit should not touch the t-case, might be driveshaft length or something to do about the way the suspension is set up, i know for a while the only AWD durangos were the R/Ts which have slightly different suspension then the rest
