I got a 1999 Dakota extended cab 4x4. 3.9L v6.
Im a noob so bare with me...
I'm looking for a mild lift maybe, like 3". I see that in the FAQ...

"" The Largest tires that will fit,
4wd Stock 30-31 inches . If you crank the bars to lift 1-2 inch some people say you can fit 33's, lift keys 2-3 inch lift fits 33's. ""

OK what are lift keys? and what brand is best? With these keys do you need blocks in the back? Is there just a complete kit some were?

 

Best kit is www.ebay.com or http://www.totalperformanceonline.co...log/X381321/30 Both links were in the FAQ. A lift key is a re-indexed key for the torsion bar. The torsion bar is the spring for the front end. It twists as the suspension goes up and down. So twisting it more will raise the front end.
