Default What lift kit should I get??

I want my Dakota to be as tall as possible cus I mean who dosnt right? But I’m 16 with a crappy job. What’s the best bang for my buck? Just a torsion key lift and call it good? Or a real suspension lift? If so what lift?? I’m having such a hard time finding a true drop bracket lift that is for a Dakota. Can’t find a lift more than 3 inches. I have an 04 quad cab v8. Thanks in advance guys
just saying I’d like to be able to run 35s but not sure if I can fit 35s with only 3 inches if lift without cutting steel, I don’t care about cutting plastic. Will the motor handle it? Or the tranny?

Unfortunately, many of the links in the FAQ are dead links

Maybe so, but you can use the links to google the same thing on your own.

That's true JK. And it wasn't my intent to be down on the forum. I have been looking into getting a lift for my 03 Dakota since I bought it last Feb. The FAQ is definitely a good starting point.

You can pretty much forget a suspension lift kit. I haven't found any pre-made Dakota lift kits for suspensions If you know or find someone who really knows what they are doing I imagine you can piece one together. I'll be getting a 3" body lift on mine next week and the kit itself is over 500 bucks. A suspension lift will cost you big I suspect even if you do it yourself.
