Hey guys! New to the group and wanted to introduce myself. I have a 2007 V8, club cab, 2wd dakota wtih the TRX package. I have installed the 2 inch leveling kit and it looks great. But now it is time to go a little bigger.

Right now I am considering a 3" body lift and 285/75/16's. Tires I have on now that came from factory are 265/70/16. And my rear-end ratio is 3.92. My question is, am I going to have any trouble with possible rub from the tires with the frame if i keep my factory rims (which i really like) and, is that ratio comparable with those size tires. Also, for you guys that have installed the Body Lift, how do guys like it? Any creaking or popping and what is the best name brand of body lifts out there?

Sorry guys this thread is so long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

welcome to the board, lots of great guys and info here. I think that the combo you have chosen should work but I would ask someone like cjadidas or one of the other guys with body lifts...

 

Welcome to DF! Sounds like a decent setup! Hopefully one of the guys with a Body Lift and oversized tires will chime in soon. Glad you are a part of an awesome site!

Now POST SOME PICS OF THE BEAST!!

 

Pics are comming soon..........sooner if i could find my D!@N cable for my digital camera!

 

WELCOME! i am new also.

 

Yeah CJAdidas has the 2" leveling kit with a 3" Peformance Accessories body lift kit. It looks great. PM him.

 

Howdy...hang on to your checkbook, these guys will cost you $$$ with ideas, sounds like you have some of your own though...hehehehe

 

Welcome to DF!

I think I remember AdidasCJ saying he had to trim a little bit for his.

This guy on CarDomain is running the leveling kit and 3" body lift with 285/70 R 17's which according to the tire size calculator are the same width as 285/75 R 16's and maybe 1/8" shorter overall. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2366753
