[align=left]Hi everybod. I a proud owner of an 06 Dodge Dakota Base Model truck. It is inferno red and needs some work. I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
My goal is to:
GEt a painted front bumper as well as grill (no idea where to get it)
Black Rims (but I have no idea as to what size or where to get them)
Maybe a lift kit but I havent seen any dakota that are 3rd gen and lifted, it owuld only be a body lift.
Any suggestions and pictures would be greatly appreciated.

if you have the factory gray frt bumper then you need to go to a body shop and get a quote from them. dodge does not have them painted if you order one. or you could search junk yards for a wrecked one. as far as a factory grille. you could searh ebay or other dodge sites. their is not much for aftermarket parts for these trucks. as far as the black rims. check the door jams and there will be a sticker that has the rim size.its either 16 inch or 17 inch with a five lug and 5.5 back spacing. if the rims on the truck are decent then there are a few people who have had thier painted or powder coated

 

There are no full suspenion lift kits, but there is a leveling kit, which raises the front 2", then you can buy universal lift blocks for the rear, 1". All shocks and struts are not effected with this lift and are fine stock. Thats it for suspension. You can only body lift with an automatic (out of the box) Some custom fabrication is required to do the job with a manual tranny. The Trailmaster leveling kit is $90, and the blocks are usually about $25. After this you can increase your tire size to 285/75 and that will provide more lift.
