I just bought my 04 Dakota Quad with the 4.7 last Wednesday. I just got done ordering some MOPAR splash guards, a Gibson Extreme dual exhaust, and a Volant cold air intake. Hopefully, it will get me a little more throttle response and alot better sound.

Other than a thorough detailing and a few minor cosmetics, this will have to hold me over for a while so I can save up for a 7'2" Blizzard or Western snowplow.

 

lift it

 

I will probably level the front end an inch by cranking the tbars but that is about it. The truck will be used for hauling and plowing and probably won't see any off roading other than hunting and fishing. It is too easy to tell when it has been lifted. My wife would figure out why my wallet is always empty.

 

Just be aware that if you level it empty and then throw a load in it (or hook up a trailer) your headlights will be lighting up the sky.

 

I will probably only raise it an inch which will still leave the back slightly taller and then I'll add Timbrens for the front and rear.
