Default what do think about this truck?

I have myself a 03 dakota quad cab 2wd and I was wondering if it would be hard to lift? I kinda of like how it sits now but I am more of a lifted truck guy. Does anyone have a picture of any lifted 2wd, and what kind of kit did you use? Thanks guys

this one will just be strictly pavement city/highway driving. I have a 02 ram 1500 for offroading. I'm just not really into how low it is and just like the thought of a little better gas mileage then driving the ram around town. I haven't really done to much research on how to lift the dakota or even what is has for front suspension and whatnot. I just figured this forum would help me out alot and get me started since i have had a lot of good advice from the 3rd gen ram section. Also if it help I'm looking to run some 33" tires so im not sure how much of a lift I will need to clear those tires.

Who cares if its a 2wd. Every person has a different purpose for their truck.

Btw, its a nice looking truck. If the price is right, I'd get it.

this is actually the first 2wd truck i have owned and will ever own. I just plan on using it during the summer for around town i guess i can call it my grocery getter. It's a 2002 and it has 25,000 km on it, and it has the 4.7. I'm between the ideas of lifting it with bigger tires, or maybe lowering it a bit more and spending a little extra money on the motor, im leaning towards lifting it because i just cant get over how lowered trucks look.

Why would you lift a truck if you're not doing stuff that warrants the lift? All you're going to do is make your handling go from bad to really bad.
