I have a 97 dodge dakota 4x4 5.2 5 spd and right ow everything is stock. I'm looking at lift kits and i'm wanting to do a 1-3" torsion keys in the front and 2" blocks in the rear. My question with doing this is with the front sway bar mounted to the bottom of the control arms, am I going to run into any issues with said sway bar with this lift kit? Will i need to relocate the sway bar or does the sway bar mounts need their own spacers? any insight is greatly appreciated.

 

dang now you got me wondering...if only 1 inch or so i dont think you would need to ..but thats going off my truck as my swaybar is almost straight across..but my dak does seem to sit 2 inches lower than alll others i see on road lol

 

If i was building it to be strictly off road use only, then i wouldn't care. i would probably just ended up deleting it. but since it is my daily, i would rather just do it right. if i have to custom fab some sort of bracket/spacer for it then thats what ill do. i dont see it being too difficult to come up with something that would work.

 

Could you flip the sway bar links to come in from the top without interfering with anything else?

 

mine just has a bushing on end of sway bar and a clamp bolts it to bottom of lower control arm...

 

Ah, ok. So, my idea just isn't gonna work.

 

Longer sway bar links or spacers for the bar itself should come with a kit if reqd. If torsion crank, should be fine
