HI everybody newbie here recently purchased my first truck 04 dakota quad cab and i would like to pimp it out a little.Right now i have stock 265 70 r16 this is as big as i can go without lift kit. I would like to know how big i can go with 3 inch lift kit without rubbing,also i would like to here from someone with experience if i should get larger wheels if i lift it or remain stock 16 and just go wider. this site is great where can i look at other members rides and see what they have done to their dakotas.appreciate any help thanks

 

Welcome to the site. I will move this thread to the second generation Dakota section,

facistfaction where can i look at pics of other members dakotas that are lifted?

 

I am sure someone will comment on this thread and post pictures of thier vehicles that are lifted. You could also try to view some on the 'members rides' section,

thanx

 

I have an 03 quad with a 3 inch body lift, I kept stock wheels and went with 305/70/16 they rub the frame just a hair in the front when u've got the steering maxed, I'll post a pic soon as I get my truck back from the shop

 

thanks hanleysh could you tell me about the look of your truck more does the tire loo small with the lift.thanks for the info when you post your pics could you give a nice side shot i would really like to see it .

 

Mine is siting on 33's and is basically stock. Maybe 1 to 1 1/2 turns on the bars is all. Very mild rub at full lock, nothing a utility knife to the back inside edge of the bumper cover/ valance couldn't handle.

 

Mine has a 3 inch body lift, and sporting 33x12.50's. Only a very slight rub. I never even notice it rubbing, but I can see the bare spot on the frame.

 

Thanks 2000dakota i was wonderig if 33's would fit with the torison bars.How do you like the look and could you post a pic thanx for the info.
