so i have found several lift kits thanks to the FAQ, for my 04 dak (v6 4x4 quad cab) i'm looking for something small, 2-3 in, my mane question (i have used the FAQ, and search on here and cant fined anything on this...) is, is there any kits to stay away from? anyone have horror stories about any ebay kits or??? looking for something around $300+ or so...

Thanks

Not really anything to avoid in the 2-3" range.

You're either looking at lift blocks in the rear + crank the torsion keys in the front, or a 3" body lift. Blocks can be had for less than $100, and body lift under $300. Just make sure the kit includes a steering shaft extension. Depending on year, if you have the manual transfer case make sure it comes with an extension, and if it has manual transmission you will need one too.

 

crank the front end t bars to level it out then go body lift. with suspention you get barely anything out of the front until you hit the front bumpstops and have insane angels on the cv's.

 

Yeah.. That's what happens when they put a Foo-Foo Front diff. on a truck.. they used these on Liberties and such foo-foo jeeps like that.. Unlike the Wrangler that actually has a real drive shaft... that's not tucked into the frame like a wiener on a fat dude.

 

I was able to get 2 inches out of my torsion bars and still have clearance between the a-arm and lower bump stops. As for the back I just got 2 inch blocks and had new u-bolts made for it.

 

how much of a rake do you have snow lover?

 

I think I have a slight rake but not bad, when I get a chance this weekend I'll find a flat spot to park and take a pic of it
