Default '02 Dakota Lift

Hey Forum, I've decided to lift my truck but I don't know how much lift to give it. I know I'm going with a body lift, can you guys post some pics of 3 inch, 4 inch, and 5 inch lifts? My Dakota is an '02 Reg Cab.
Thanks!

In my sig pic, mine has 5.5" of lift, but it's not a body lift. It will give you an idea of the height, though.

I'm sure you know there's no such thing as a 5" body lift, right? You'd need to do torsion keys in the front and blocks or shackles in the rear with a 3" body lift to get that much height.

Nice truck man. I like that height. I do know I'd have to mess with the torsion a little. The three lifts I mentioned were what I want the lift on my truck to be around, not exact measurements.

Just so you get an idea.

And this is what mine looks like currently (after SAS). Needs bigger tires now.

This is probably about 7-8" of lift.
