The wheels I have on now came off a hummer H2.

After doing some research in the forum it seems like a 1.5" to 2" lift is the way to go.

But if I do a 1.5 block lift on the back how much should I lift in the front to keep it leveled?

Also what is the biggest sized tires you can fit with this 1.5 lift.

The supership question has me wondering too!

Superchips will work. Check https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...my-raider.html

I haven't tried it, but let me know if it works for you.

I'm just wondering if the Trans update would work. If not, I guess there is always the Sonnax.

The Raider really grew on me as far as the looks. It seems to me what the Dakota should have looked like. It’s fresh and clean with a current look in stead of a leftover design look of the Dakota. The front end blends well with NO fat lip bumper of the Dak 05~07 or the punched in the face look of the Dak 08~11. It is sad to see the Dakota size and body on frame being discontinued but it is not selling at all accept in the fleet markets. Dodge will not last this gas crisis this time around. They are on the end of a ton of barrowed money and sort on time. Watch for the Ram line to be either spun off or sold outright. Hey weather anyone likes it or not I have been right on Chrysler perditions for the last three years.

not dissing you but i have to disagree with ya, around here no one had a 3rd gen Dakota soon as i got mine everyone seemed to like it (plus i always floored it alot) and now people are getting them. plus i seem more of the newer Rams and the new Durangos then i see the new chevys and Fords, and all the people i know that owns a titan or tundra all they do is complain about them, saying they hate how things break inside and they have a rougher ride then my truck. but it would be sad to see one of the 3 to go if any of them happens.
