hey guys i wanna put a lift kit on my truck but dont wanna pay and arm and leg for it does anyone know where i can buy a lift kit at for a 99 dakota 5.2? and what size tires can i run?

 

The best option if you want inexpensive is a 3" body lift for $200-250. If you then crank the torsion bars up a bit, you can fit 32" tires comfortably and probably 33s, if you don't mind them rubbing once in a while.

 

$250 for a 3" body lift and $700 for a 3" suspension lift (New keys and add-a-leaf). I run 33's with no rubbing. Also Rancho 5000 series shocks. Lifting a dak isn't cheap...lol

 

That sounds awfully expensive.

And even with my 5.5" lift, my 33s rubbed a little bit once in a while.

 

U can get a torsion key and vblock lift for $200 or less on ebay. I paid $144 for keys and 1.5" blocks.

 

Yea that's in the states, here in Canada nothings cheap. I live in bc, we call it bring cash because of how expensive it is. Just recently purchased new lights on eBay for $180 including shipping from California, up here the cheapest I could find was $300 plus tax (14%). So $700 for a suspension lift from a suspension shop wasn't that bad of a deal.

 

thanks guy i know lift a dak isnt cheap i think im going to get a 6" lift from tough country and a 3" body lift and 2" keys and try and stuff 38's under it

 

You can't use the TC kit with 2" keys. You have to use the keys that come with the kit. For all the money you're going to spend and effort you're going to make, you would be better off doing a SAS. The stock front axle will last about 5 minutes with 38s.

 

Imo, dana 60 if your going to run 38's, agree with Tom, that stock front axle will explode putting that big of a tire on it.
