Unhappy Help! I need a lift kit

Hey my name is zack, first off i have a 2000 dodge dakota 4.7L. I have done some looking around and idk what to do. I only know of 2 companys who make suspension lift kits (truckin and whiplash). I would like to know the quality of these lifts and if the is any other companys who makes suspension lift for my 2000 dodge dakota????

Ya. i found a 3'' body lift for $250. But i dont want a body lift i would much rather have a suspension lift. I have 31inch swampers on. But i am planning on putting 33's or 35's

if you crank the bars and block the back with 2" of body, you should have no problem with 33s beware of 35s with stock front axle/steering parts if you really plan to wheel your truck
