I am seriously debating in my head weather or not to lift my truck... IDK how much id wanna spend or how i would want to raise it or even how much. I saw a pic of a guys truck who raised it with a shackle and torsion crank... It seemed to be about how much i would want to raise mine... Any opions on what the shackle and torsion does to the actual truck as far as handleing and safety??

 

From what I have heard the T/S list does not affect the ride on our D's just don't go beyond 2 inches with the torsion bars (8 revolutions) or you could end up with problems with alignment and put extra stress on the axle shafts.

 

Agreed with green.


Green how's the truck running?

 

Oh okay cool... cuz i want to do it but im just a little hesitant in not knowing too much info about it. I mean it sounds like its easy and cheap and its about how much i want it to raise for now but i want to make sure im not messing with a double edged sword here... Yanno?

 

im having the same thoughts blackonblack

 

On another forum I'm on there are plenty of people that have done it without ill effects so I wouldn't be concerned with it.

Hydra the D is doing great but I haven't been driving it that much lately since I don't have gas money and my wifes Scion only needs $30 every 2 weeks. I've taken it offroad a few times since I've gotten here and it got a little hotter than I would like so I need a heavy duty fan clutch but the tranny is solid now.

 

Do you or anyone know where i could buy a Shackle Set for my durango. And also wehre i could buy a body lift. I was thinking about compaing the two. Price wise. To see which one is the most cost effective..

 

id like to see that pic. of the raised one..

GIMME THE LINK, OR TELL ME WHEREVER U SAW IT PLZ..

I have been thinking about lifting mine too..

Thats the link to the guys truck. I would love to make it look just about that high or even raise the back a little more and get a 2inch rake from back to front....

 

i found the Tuff Country 5.5"front/5"rear suspension lift at the local shop. they wanted $1600 for the kit and $2k installed. does this seem fair?
what other lifts are out there for the D? what lift do you guys recommend?
also,
stock- what are the biggest tires that will fit with no trimming?
with the susp. lift, will i still need a body lift to fit 32 or 33's?

thanks!
