Default Just a few things to begin with.

Hey guys, as some of you know I purchased a '07 Dakota SXT Club Cab last month and well it's time to tear into it. I've got a few ideas and since i'm new to the whole dodge scene i'm looking for some help. I'm wanting to swap out the front bumper and get it color matched with the addition of the chrome piece on the top and also have the rear painted to match the truck. I'm thinking of also throwing on a 3" body lift with maybe a 2" leveling kit with a set of 32's or 33's wrapped around a set of beefy lookin rims. I found a dtruck that basically i'm basing mine off of and using as a starter template. Here it is, let me know what you think.

Uhhh... thats what i want mine to look like. If you go for the body lift, you might think about step bars; they make the truck look a little closer to the ground, but, they hide that unsightly frame rail (that always bothers me, it screams "body lift!")

Yeah, Nerf Bars are being ordered next week when i get back from the beach.. I agree about the frame rails, and i think the bars will hide them perfectly. I'm just wondering about the 3" Lift and what all i'll need to do it. I'm going to wait on the lift though until i get a good set of wheels to ride on and do them all at once. I can't stand the looks of a raised truck riding on stock treads.

I think that will be a sweet ride when done. Agree on the dinky tire with lift look.
