Yeah you probably could. But I wouldnt spend a grand on this kit, when an identical kit is available for like $400. I have been looking at it, but don't think I want it i'm just gonna do the lift coils. http://www.doetsch-shocks.com/17.asp

Yeah no problem. I think you gotta call to order though. I have a hard time believing the dak in the picture is a 2wd, or if it is, it is lifted more than just their 3 inch kit. If i knew mine would look like that (except I don't like the way the back looks so low), I'd buy it right now. You also need different wheels, with different backspacing. Stock ones won't work.
Edit: Stock wheels will work, but you need spacers if you want to run them. If i were to go with this kit, i'd get some cragar soft 8's.

Well it says on the page that the wheel can have a max backspacing of 4 and 5/8 of an inch. So yes, the wheels will work if they have a 4.5 inch backspacing.
