Default wheel travel

I'm wanting to some suspension renovations. I'm having a hard time finding aftermarket parts for what i want to do. I'm not trying to jack up my truck and be all high off the ground. But I'm wanting more of a baja set up, with long wheel travel and good flex between the front and rear wheels. If anyone knows of some good websites. I'd love to get them. But does anyone know anything about ways to improve wheel travel on a 2nd gen dak?

There is a reason you aren't finding anything for a pre-runner/baja setup for the dakota. The simple answer is that there is such a low demand for it, it doesn't exist. Another reason is that when it comes to long travel suspension components that are functional, they are custom made. Get ready to pay some big green to do what you want to do. Custom extended control arms, King shocks, all connecting linkage...and that is just the front.

Most of the lift kits you will find are for more ground clearence. Most do not give you and more articulation or travel. The ones who seriously love the dakota trucks will do a solid axle swap.
