i have a 2000 Dakota 4x4 sport and im trying to figure out how to lift it. I know it has torsion bars on the front which ive never had to really deal with. is the long arm lift from tuff country the only lift I can go with besides if I just wanted to crank the torsion keys and put like a block or add-a-leaf in the rear?

 

You basically answered your own question..

Other than that it's doing SAS (Solid axle swap) and/or body lifts..

 

If you just want to lift it for looks or to fit bigger tires on it, a body lift is the cheapest, easiest way to go. For serious wheeling, a solid axle is the best way. The Tuff Country lift isn't cheap, easy, or very good off-road, but it does look good.
