Nice build thread and story. Just bought my 2000 and I am doing my 3" lift in a couple weeks. I only went with 31" tall tires on 15" wheels after reading about possible differential problems when going 33 or higher. Since this is my winter DD I need to keep it moving...don't want to pull my Challenger out in the snow and salt. But I think other than that I plan on going down a similar path.

Well I replaced my heater core and it now get nice and toasty in my Durango. Very happy about this. it was a HUGE pain in the butt but I did get it taken out and replaced. I am glad I did. It was filled with Pine Needles and leaves and the heater core did look pretty bad. Oh well it is replaced and running great now.

So went up on a trail with another Durango and a couple Explorers and a Jeep. I was the one that did not make it on the trail. I broke Passenger side CV. A new one is on its way to replace the old one. Was able to get it replaced thru the warranty with Rock Auto. Here are a couple pics I took.

I have Purchased a 98 Durango with a 5.2 318 4x4 SLT. I am starting this Thread to Keep track of what I do and get input from all you great peeps. I have not yet gotten her home as she will only move in the forward motion. reverse works but the rear axle prevents her from Moving. I know this cause the rear Drive live is not installed at the time. Saturday 12/28 when I was gonna take her home the weather was Horrible. Snow winds and Icy roads made me decide that I am not gonna attempt to get her home. This coming Saturday 01/04 Should how ever be a different Story as of now the weather looks to be decent to get her home. I will have to get her on the trailer and get her home. I already have an axle lined up to replace old axle. It is from a 2000 Durango.
Plans -
2 to 3 inch lift - 3" Keys and Add a leaf
Possible 1.5 inch Body lift
33x12.50 / 15 Tires
Lockers (maybe)
Trim a little on front and rear bumpers.
Hit the trails.
Fixes -
Drivers Window - wont go up
Passenger rear window - wont go up or down
Minor Details.
Here is her Before picture.
I will keep the thread updated as the Changes happen.
