Well i have a 99 dodge dakota 4wd and i have a Rancho 3 inch lift just sitting in my garage. Im trying to decide if i should do it myself or have a shop do it for me?

I was wondering if anybody had done one themselves and if so what should i look out for and how long did it take?

If not could someone reccomend a good shop or person to do the install, in the chicago land area.

 

yes, attitude performance on oakton, i think its in des plaines. all they do there is big mean offroad rigs. they are probably the best offroad shop to talk to in illinois.

 

but i wouldnt do it yourself

 

If you have a jack + 4 or 6 jack stands to hold the frame rails in mid-air, i'd say go for it. But having a shop with a post lift do it would be alot better.

I don't think it's that intensive...A arm + Torsion bar + diff drop brackets in front, leaf drop brackets in the rear?

 

thank you guys for the advice.

 

take pics once you get it on there... i know there are a lot of guys talking about it and i would be interested in seeing how it looks before and after

Cheers.
