I tried searching this but couldn't find much. I think i've read, If not this forum another that If i could take the front break parts Off a 01 or 02 and put on my 04 i can fit a 98-99 5.5" Lift kit?
I think i was reading about the stering knuckle and calipers?? IF someone could shed some light on this for me would be great. Maybe even shoot me some part numbers so i can start getting this together. Well, if there's any truth to it.

 

http://www.dodgedakotas.com/boards/raise/2351.html That is the forum I seen it on.. Am i better off just finding a solid front axel off a Ram an using Coils??

 

IMO, if your looking at spending some serious coin, just put a solid axle in. If it's gonna be a glorified street queen, keep the IFS. No sence in spending the money on a solid front axle if your gonna be cruising the mall's. In any cae, I have never heard of swapping the front brake's over to fit another lift kit, but then again, anything is possible!

 

I feel like even if its going to be a street queen a SAS would be better. The 5.5" lift is $1600 and you could easily get all the parts for less and do the work yourself.

 

yeah, but the lift seems so much easier to install then a front solid axel and coil overs... And no street queen for me, the lift goes to use on this truck. umm... SAS=?

 

SAS means solid axle swap. If the truck is gonna be used as an offroad toy as well as a daily driver then the sas would be worth it.

 

But, I've never been involved with a project as big as a front-end swap.. I'm not discourging myself But it's a BIG project for someone who's never changed the concept of going from an IFS to a SAS. I would need someone behind me to kinda guide me threw the process. It's something i would really enjoy but would just need the experience behind me. I'm just interested in going high.
