Let me get this straight. The rear is lifted with blocks/shackles and new shocks. But how did he get the front lifted?

I had heard it was made by chassis tech as well but I didn't think they ever put it into production, I didn't follow it too closely though so I could easily be wrong on that.

Here's a link to his Car Domain site: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2115892

And the Chassis Tech site: http://www.airbagit.com

And the Dodge Dakota lift section: http://www.airbagit.com/Dodge-Lifted...ion-s/1692.htm

And I'll just leave it there for others to comment on.


Edit: Oh and I emailed Rough Country yesterday (I have their 2.5" lift on our Wrangler) to see if they may ever do a real lift,
not leveling kit, for our Dakota's. Waiting to see what they say.

So they makje a 3.5'' lift for the front and a 4'' lift for the front

I want to lift my 4x2 ....4'' in the front is this all i will need to do it? http://www.airbagit.com/product-p/x2-car-dk05xxc.htm

Wouldnt I need a lower control arm? for the back i was thinking 2.5-3'' blocks and shocks

That should be it. But, I thought they would have added new spindles also. Maybe on a 4x2 you can
get this lift much of a lift with just new upper and lower control arms as well as new springs and shocks.

However, do a search on some of the Dodge websites for the names Airbag It and Chassis Tech and a
few other names they've gone by over the years. There were a lot of people unhappy with the product
and service. That's not to say though that they couldn't have changed. A lot of companies turn around
to become phenomenal.
