Default 06 Dakota body lift.

New to this forum and just started my body lift on my dakota.
So far its at about 10 hours, Few hickups.
Still need to put new brackets on my front bumper to make it flush from the 3" lift as well as going to have to trim so my 33 x 12.5 x 15 MTR's can fit..
I have a strut spacer which I dont know if I should add it or not, i've heard it destroys you ball joints and would like some feedback on anyone who has had them installed.

Anyways here are some pics of the build so far.

you will have to do a lot of hacking to get the tires too fit without the spacer, with my spacer, i still had to trim quite a bit, too bad you wernt here before the install, there is a lot of the steps in the body lift instructions you can get around and save a pile of time...

and welcome to DF

Wwlcome to the forum,... if it's a 4x4 your gonna kill the front end with those big tires and the spacers. Also, join photobucket (free) and use that site for pics, you can put as many as you want on here that way.
