i have those same tires... just in 265/70/16

 

looks good. any problems with the leveling kit yet? i cant decide on what to do with this truck. i know i want the same size tire that you (Donkey) are running but thats all i know right now. body lift or leveling kit??????

 

No problems with the leveling kit at all. I was considering 1" blocks for the rear, however, TM has revised the leveling kit to 1.5" instead of 2". Depending on which version of the two, 2" kits, you either install the spacer above the strut assembly, or in between the top of the strut and top seat of the spring.

When installing the 2" kit above the spring seat, there were no reported issues. But, if you installed the spacer above the strut assembly, then some customers had complaints of the cv joints binding. Apparently one can remove .500" of an inch and everything is fine. Well, its been fine so far.

 

where did you buy your leveling kit at or from who? and how much? i dont think the 3rd gen dakota will ever get a suspension lift so i'm going with the leveling kit. thats for answering my questions.

 

I ordered mine direct from TM. Though, I work at a race shop...so.

 

Probably not, but I bet he gets a better deal then the avg Joe

 

One could place an order at TM. However, the MSRP on their website is typically higher than a merchant's retail price. Being a race shop, we get a little bit of a discount.

 

So how much do you think it would be to have a place mill down the 2 inch spacers. I have them sitting in a box back in the states. I would prefer to have them places on top of the coil assembly so that if I had any issues I can remove them before I go to the dealer. I would call but I am deployed overseas..but comming home for good in 82 days. Wooo HOOO. Thanks.
