Hey folks,
From the pictures people have seen thus far everybody thinks my 2002 Dakota 4x4 has been lifted. The tires on the truck are a 245/70 R16 with is 1.1 inches taller overall than the 265/70 R16 factory tire size. So that alone makes it .55 taller. Rear ride height to the top of the well is 37" with an 8" gap from top of tire to edge of well. Up front is 35" with a 7" gap.

Funny but when it's sitting on a flat surface it's virtually flat looking. Attached are shot of the rear leaf spring assembly in which I think is a 2" lift shackle. I kow the 4x4's had more clearence but am looking for opinions here> I have not looked at the torsion bars yet.

Can anybody help me with the stock ride height and how I can return this to the factory height?

Thoughts?

That *looks* stock to me....... I don't have one to measure to compare though.

 

After doing some research it seems that I am close to stock height. I could not find any lift of torision bar adjustments that indicated otherwise.

It DOES look like its lifted though. I can see how you would reach that conclusion.

 

I know some dakotas have leafsprings atop the rear end dif. an others below ,depending on if 2wd or 4wd an size.
