Default Lift options

I have a 1999 dakota 4x4 automatic tranny. I looked online and only found the tuff country lift for suspension and body lifts. I want a suspension lift but not 5.5" lift. I say Rancho made or used to make a 3" suspension lift in the archives of other forums so i am guessing they discontinued them or something for 97-99. I only want 2-3 inches without a bodylift.. I am not a big body lift person. I only want to get 2-3 inches from suspension to fit 32" cooper stt's.


If there is another similar post that i missed i apologize for making another.


Thanks

Rancho only has kits for 2000-2002. Here's page for 00-02.

Yes I know that, they used to make a 97-99 but they dropped it, i called to confirm it and they did.

I almost bought a 2002 slt Dakota but I found this 99 for a better deal.

My bud did one on a 98 and he said it went on no problems the P.A. Body lift came with everything you needed, but he also did one on 2001 and said it was biggest pain in the ***. So i would consider doing that set-up. giving me about 3-4 inches.
