Lifting without a lft kit
Have a 1997 Dakota Sport 4x4. What springs would you recommend to raise the front and what about the rear end as well?

the 4x4 has torsion bars; not springs..
You can crack the torsions to get a little more lift in the front more of a level unless you put blocks in teh back but with out a kit thats all your gonna get.

also also make it ride much firmer, and depending on how far you go, may no longer be able to get within camber specs.

Ride in an older 3/4 or 1 ton truck and you won't notice a difference in the Dakota. At 1.5in of lift it isn't much to get it back in specs.

well yea. I'd call that about analogous. But a stock dakota and a dakota with 1.5-2.0 cranked in the bars are night and day...former is a car, latter is a 3/4-4/4-5/4 ton truck.
