you want more power from the 5.9??? start by making sure its all tuned up and running right, they seem to make plenty of power for these trucks stock, but they are also very upgrade friendly.

btw welcome to our section,

and the cheapest lift is the torsion shackle lift, crank the t-bars 8 turns and get a set of lift shackles for the rear

figured that.. I got the keys for my old dakota just cause they say over time they sag , and can help get the height with them, but I dont imagine the durango should be to bad.
