i wouldn't do it no matter what with a system like that, longer c/v travel as well as higher angle joints would be required, but would probably be to long to compress the suspention, then you will also have a massive angle on the tierod, which could be flipped, but between that and 1 different a-arm, the geometry of the the suspention will be screwed, and will result bump steer, bad tire where, hard to align, and all the other parts that would now be at severe angles will have accelerated wear

I know I'm a little late to the game here but I've been working as a wellsite geologist for some time now and to be honest I have never been in a situation where a normal ride height Dak couldn't handle the roads. Granted the concentration of guys with really small penises out here is enormous judging by the number of ridiculously lifted trucks.

Hell, during the summer my lady comes out to visit me in my RX8.


That being said I am in for a 4" lift kit for my truck if only to have the deer go all the way under my truck when I decide to go deer hunting with my bumper on the way to the lease.
