All they are selling you is the shackles and torsion keys (useless on these trucks). Just get the 2" drop shackles for a chevy pickup and crank your factory keys 8 turns, thats good for 2". Do not go any higher unless you really like working on front ends and get an alignment right away. You can then do a 3" body lift. All this is 5" worth for about $450 while retaining the factory durability. There was some kits made for the 98-99 durangos but have been long since discontinued. There never was any suspension lift kits for 2000-03 that I've heard of and thats mainly because they changed the front diff in 2000. Check the DIY sticky for more threads on this topic.

Well the drop shackle kits, I have belltech 6400 drop shackles for the 90's chevy trucks. I got them at O'reillys for $40. You would benefit from pb blaster, new bolts, and some washers because the chevy shackles are slightly narrower at the top.
