Default 2000 Dakota 4x4

Hey guys,

Well as a month and half ago, i got a 2000 Dakota SLT Quad Cab 4x4, burgundy in color with the silver trim on the bottom. It has 65,000 miles on it now. Completely stock.

I did own a honda accord, which i modded just a tad bit, if i had it longer i would have kept going. As for my truck, i know i want to put bigger tires, change out the stereo, most likely put h.i.d.s (opinions on that please), tint the windows. I want to lift the truck, but since we have the R&P front suspension there really is nothing out there. So i've heard about the torsion bar crank, body lifts, SAS, and adding a leaf. I want to start somewhere, so what do you think the easiest place to start with lifting the truck would be?

It was stolen as of last week, but was recovered on thursday. No body damage, quote from the towing guys and guys at the repair shop "Best looking stolen car i've ever seen". Only damage was, broken passenger door lock (where they got in), ignition all messed up, and since i have a locking toneau cover on my truck, they took 2 screwdrives, one under the toneau cover to try and pry it up other to move lock. But, I'll have it back my friday hopefully .

-Jordan

Well lots to add here. I got my hid's from mydepot.com I have 55watt 6,000k headlights and fogs which they are the whitest and brightest you can go. If you just crank your torsion bars you can level your front with your rear. I have 32's on my truck with my torsion bars cranked. You can crank your tb and do a 2in body lift and fit 33's. As far as I know they only make one lift for our trucks and its like 1,500 for a 4.5 in lift thats the last time I checked.
