'custom spindles' = $$$$$
Looks like 2WD only with 4WD 'coming soon'

It does look nice though!!

not at this moment, theyre too concerned with the whole diesel market, maybe if it had a diesel then they would care more, but me a few other guys are looking at other options, to find one that will work

Yeah, I liked what white26gulf (I think thats his name, im pulling it out of my butt) did by combining the two kits, but from what I gather that prolly wouldnt work with the 4x4s

Yeah. Thats what im starting to think. At this point, Im thinking im just going to buy an older K10 and build that up. I love my dak but there just isnt the aftermarket out there for it.

I have the complete leveling kit for the 2005 Dakota 2wd, which includes the shocks and the rear blocks. My question is are the rear blocks custom made, or are they basically the same as the ones I can get from most parts stores. The reason why I am asking is because I would like to change them out with maybe a 2.5" or 3" block to raise the back a little higher. Also what would the max lift with blocks that I would be able to do with the RC shocks in the kit, or is this a non-issue?
