Lifting....

Lifting....
I have a 1999 Dodge Dakota 2wd Reg Cab, and I have been thinking about lifting it with the 3 inch performance accessories kit. How hard is this to install though? Is there any welding required? I have done a lot of work on vehicles with my uncle but never anything such as a lift. I do not have access to a welder and don't know how to weld so I would want to make sure there is no welding required. I was also wondering if this would level out the truck as well? Would I need to buy anything other than the 3 inch lift kit? Thank you

Like Custer said you can use the other link. But the short of it is a body lift is pretty straight forward. 2 people can pull it off in about 8- 10 hours. This will only lift the body. If you want to level it you will need spacers for the coil springs on a 2wd. to lift the front and level with the back.
If you go to Performance Accessory web site there is PDF with the instructions on how to install and would give you a better idea of what you are dealing with.

with a 3 inch body you should be able to tuck 33's but they wil rub, i have a 6inch suspension and 3 inch body and i put my body lift on in one day. you will get a steering linkage extender, and you will get all your blocks, you shouldnt have to extend any brake lines, i think 1 or 2 short lines thats it if any. i had to extend 2. other than that you will be set in a days work!!

i installed body lift last week, the hardest was removing front bumper, u do need to weld overload spacers in the box.
i put 315-70-17s yesterday, they dont rub but they only clear by 1/8th.
logically if i install a leveling kit, this will raise and make gapping better right?
ps i have 4x4 though
