I am buying my 3rd 2nd generation Dak. Couldn't find an AWD this time (my last 2 were and I loved them, although MPG suffered) but instead I found a 2004 Club Cab with 25,000 miles with the 210HP 3.7L V6 which, with 35 more HP that the old dog 3.9L and just 20 less than the 4.7L V8, seems a good option. If I am correct, the 2004 is the only year in which the 2nd gen (which is 700lbs lighter than the 3rd generation) was given the new 3.7L.

Anyway, my new Dak needs paint and tires so I was Google searching when I came across this beautiful QC. I have decided to try to copy it with my club cab. What I can't tell for sure is if it has a lift. Maybe a torsion lift with blocks in the back? One of my previous Daks I bought used came with this and the ride sucked. The thing floated all over the place and the wheel stops in the front made contact on any bumps or humps at speed. The truck looks just killer and I wouldn't mind putting a very mild lift on mine if it didn't effect handling too much. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks.

i don't think so. if those are 265/75/16s then no it has no lift because they are way to close to touching up front. truck does look nice though

 

this is cranked t bars with blocks in the back with 265s..

 

FYI Its called a Quad cab not a Club cab. I would be carefully and look over that truck. With all those silly aftermarket parts probably was owned by a punk kid that beat it

 

That dealership is right by me and it seems they have nice quality cars and trucks for sale. Doesn't seem like a shotty used car place.

 

Wow is that a purdy truck. And its the best year of dakota they ever made! well according to me anyways

 

Just has torsion bars cranked.

Here is mine cranked with 32's

Like everyone else said so far it looks like the torsion bars are cranked. You can easily tell if it has blocks in the rear and if there is a lift on it. But very good looking truck

 

Thanks all. Glad that it probably isn't lifted.

The tires on it are 245 70 R16's. They don't make those specific Sumitomos anymore, but plenty of similar similar tires out there. I have never liked custom wheels, but with that trucks paint job they look wicked.



FYI If you read my post again, but carefully this time, you will see that I was referring to a different truck. I bought a Club Cab. Pictured is a Quad Cab, as I described. Thanks for the warning tho.

Here is the truck I just bought. 2004 SXT Club Cab, 3.7L, 25,000 miles. $9500. Was that a good deal?




Dare I say it looks even better as a Club Cab?

 

looks very clean
