Default 2004 2wd dakota body lift

i know PA has a decent body lift out there but i was just wandering if anyone has any pictures of their 2nd gen 2wd dakotas that have a body lift and some bigger tires. i know its 2wd and some people think its pointless but i'm making the best with what i got.

hey I was just wondering after the install, did the nose or front of the truck still sit alot lower than the back or did it kind of even out? kind of hard to tell from the pics. also did you do the install by yourself? and how long did it take. Im planning on helping my buddy out on his dakota with this type of lift so any help or advice would be great thanks.

with a bodylift your suspension stays the same. it only will raise the body off the frame. so your front end will still sag like it does stock, only it sits up higher now

yeah the nose stayed the same. and i did the instalations myself. since it was my first time doing one and it was me by myself mainly it kinda took me a while to get it done. i'd say bout 10hrs or so. but i wasnt in a big hurry i wanted to make sure i got it done right. the one and only think i really had a lil trouble on was the steering extension. theres not alot of room to work in that area. other then that, everything goes on exactly like it should.
