Default 08 dodge Dakota lift kit...

Sooooo..... I took my truck to the suspension shoppe today.... And they can lift it.... Like a real suspension lift, I'll have the parts list Monday, its gonna be either zero to minimal fabricating involved, and no, it's not a spacer leveling kit, it's shocks and coils.... This is gonna be the s#*%

I am sure airbagit upper should not be that bad... MOOG joint robotized welding...

projekt dirt have a better knowledge but we dont have a picture on reviews yet...

so for now the airbagit with a good shock adaptor(or a shock hoop), 934 joints, and a fully ajustable shocks should do fine...

that combonation wouldnt work too well either. a shock hoop requires cutting the whole coil bucket out and welding in the hoop. no one is sure the 934 joints are the ones you guys need just yet. and fully adjustable shocks dont do anything for ride height....

and robot welds arent always the strongest..and AIM doesnt use robots to weld their crappy balljoint arms (made from DOM and are as thin as my Mt. Dew can)
