I want to see some pictures of this on the Dakota. Very interested in possibly doing it to my r/t . Also what size tires are you running? Right now my truck is low and it's not ideal for the rough winters here and I really like the look of lifted trucks. Also was the install hard ?
Thanks

I can't vouch for it on a Dak, but I've installed one on a Ford I had, one on a Chevy Z71 and one on my 2nd Gen Ram when I had it. I've also helped friends do theirs a couple of times. The install isn't hard at all, can be done with a jack and jackstands in the driveway with common tools (although air tools makes it a lot easier). Matter after owning six full size trucks in my life, I finally did my first full suspension lift on my current 3rd Gen Ram.
There is some fabbin', but not much or very difficult (and I'm only talking drilling holes). The docs that come with the kit have been excellent on every one I've done.
This is my old 2nd Gen with 3" PA Body Lift and 1" spacers front and rear:

putting the lift on wasn't too bad it took my and 2 other guys about 9 hours to do. Here are some pics of before and after

did it feel alot bigger once you got into it? Also did you have to alter your bumpers at all? And did the kit come with it?

If you go to the PA website, you'll see the kit comes with everything you need, including bumper brackets. The only thing it does not include are the gap guards which are optional (although after the first one I did, I started making my own out of black rubber mats, much cheaper).
They even have the installation instructions online:
