Okay, thanks!
This is my first time really messing the torsion bars besides cranking the stock ones so I was unsure.

Did you have to unbolt the transmission crossmember in order to get the bars low enough in the back easily?

No, I just pried them down and stuck a block of wood to hold them. It's possible my transmission crossmember is different, but I don't think so.

It's possible. My trans crossmember blocks the bar from being brought down any further, there is still an inch of the key still up in the crossmember so it looks like I'll have to remove the crossmember, but I'm not to sure where to support the trans with a jack when I do this.

I just looked at mine and the trans crossmember is like 2 feet away. You can easily bend the bars an inch down in two feet. Just pry harder. They'll spring right back when you're done.

Yeah, I know I can pry it down further I just need to find a bigger pry bar than what I've been using.

I've seen the Adrenaline 2-3" suspension lift, and I've looked at the 2" suspension lift through Total Performance Inc.

Alright boys, which is worth the money---or is there something better. I've looked into body lifts, but I've always been told that Suspension Lifts are better for your truck. This is the first time in 4 months that I've even come across a suspension lift that "fits" the 2003 Dodge Dakota; fingers crossed.
