your best bet would be tbar crank and body lift. Rancho makes a 5.5 in lift but its like $1800. i wanted to lift mine about 3-4 in but thats all i could find.

I was talking to my buddy. He is big into modding trucks has a 05 nissan titan lowered on 26's 2 other trucks that can lay frame. He made the control arms for his titan. He said if I give him enough time he can make me a lift kit Id figured maybe I would throw him 300.00 to make it but then ill need new shocks,bigger tires prob new wheels and really I dont off road much so it would be more for looks than anything so I think its just best to save my money.

They exist. My 99 dakota sport 4x4 has a 3in body on it(i bought it that way)
but anyway if you want a body http://www.jcwhitney.com/body-lift-k...id=d412y1999j1
if you want a suspension lift http://www.jcwhitney.com/suspension-...id=d412y1999j1

These are both for a 99 dakota 4x4 if yours is not 4x4 you may want to go back to the jc whitney home and input your trucks info but it shouldnt matter much
