Hey guys,
I want to buy a level lift kit for my 08 Dakota. Couple of questions...
What do you guys think of kits like this one:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/05-06-07-08-09-DO...item3356e5683c
I know that lots of you guys installed the Trail Master one. I went on the website to find that it is not a 2'' level kit, its more like 1.5''
Need some advice!
Thanks!

i put one on mine that is very similar, no problems and a lot cheaper, the TM kit installs different and is a lot more of a PITA to put in, i would save your money and get this one
here is the front of my 08 with just the leveling kit

then body lift and another inch up front

And the .5 inch difference from 2 inches is really negligible, might let you clear a pebble. The ONLY way to gain real clearance is bigger tires and you don't even need a lift for 265/75R16s.

Oh really, I didnt know that you didn't need the lift for that size of tires. I just bought, today, Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 265/75r16 so they will fit even without the front level kit correct? No rubbin?
As for the level kit, would the one on ebay bolt on top of the strut or on top of the spring? really hard to say from what I can see.

Dodgetrucker, just wondering...
What, if any, difference have you noticed in the ride and/or handling of your TRX with a leveling kit installed? I bought one of the over the strut setups when I had my 05 but never got it installed before my truck got trashed. When I bought my 08 TRX I emailed the place I bought it from and they recommended not installing it saying they felt the ride would be too harsh with it on. Any feelings/input on your overall experience since you put yours on? Thanks

And from what I can gather by looking at it, it would bolt to the top of your strut, then bolt to your truck. You will have to turn the strut backwards to make it work but that is a non-issue.
And Racinartist, I have noticed absolutely no decrease in the ride quality on my 09, not even a little bit stiffer from what I can gather.
