Welcome to the site. Unfortunately Rancho is the only company that makes a lift for the 4x4 Dak. THe only problem with that lift is its only for the 2000 to 2002 model. Maybe you could look into a body lift. That would give you 3 more inches and they are a ton cheaper.

I am intrigued by this body lift proposal, but such a noob that I don't know anything else. Could you elaborate, give examples, websites, anything to show better? I was looking for seomthing modest.. 3-6" lift for my 2003 4x4 4.7L 'kota (qc).

thanks

Body lifts are scary imho. You're increasing the leverage against the bolts that mount the bed/body to the frame. I'm not a fan and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
