Just like Shawn (sullysdetailing) said, if we can get commitments from at lest 5 2WD & 5 4WD setups and donor trucks to prototype off of, we can start supplying you with parts and service.

Here are the options I have in mind:
05-10 Dakota/Raider 2WD trucks
  • Replacement coil over shock & new upper A-arm that has a 3” left
  • Mid travel that comes with replacement coil over shock, new upper & lower A-arms 3” wider pair side that has a 3-4” left.
05-10 Dakota/Raider 4WD trucks
  • Replacement coil over shock, new upper A-arm that has a 3” left.
Rear options:
  • 3 leaf, add-a-leaf kit
  • 64” long travel spring kit, 19” of wheel travel and ride height is 100% tunable.
  • Daily Driver Link kit, 24” of wheel travel and ride height is 100% tunable.
Let me know what all of you have in mind and you’re needed so I can adjust.

So the Medium Travel kit for the 2wd is 4'' lift and the Regular lift for the 2wd is a 3'' lift? Is that correct?

Does the test truck get any special discount?

Well if all 30 of us chip in $25-30 it should be enough to ship your truck to them

wow Giants price was lower than i thought. I think im the only 2wd truck on here. YAY! and for 4wd you only need a modified upper. for lift but they didnt take into account for the CV's.

also Geoff...the wider front lowers and uppers for the 2wd will also need to include an equally long tie rod extension. and if were going deavers in the rear. than we might need to cut and move the shackles because deaver doesnt have leafs for us. we have to use either tacoma or ranger. maybe fullsize like f150.

thats why i kept asking you guys for spare lower control arms. my prototype was built off my truck, but if im going to start whipping these out for you guys i need to make a jig using a factory control arm.
