I thought I'd start a new thread with this info for everyone to see.

I finally have my full leveling kit and rear lift kit installed. Here are the details: (2005 Dakota SLT, 4X4, V8)

New Tires:
Cooper Discoverer A/T3 265 70 R16. $177 each installed. Very nice ride!

The ones that I ordered were black. The auction now shows chrome.

Also for the rear lift, I ordered the U-bolts from www.stengelbros.com.
They ran me about $35.
The dimensions are:
A = 9/16"
B = 3.5"
C = 9.5"

I'm very happy with the results.

Here's what it looks like now. When the sun shines again in Wisconsin, I'll take a couple more photos.

wow! looking good. Thanks for the info on the bolts. I want to put a rake back into mine. Thats a good deal on those blocks and u-bolts. Which of the ubolts did you get? (round, square, semi-round, etc) and did they come with the nuts/washers?

 

I think that I have the photos fixed now. They should be viewable.
The nuts and washers were included.
They shipped them very quickly. The guy on the phone said that they would actually go make them as soon as I hung up and that they would ship out the same day - they did too.

 

Looks nice. I have the same tires (265/75/16) and love he ride, oh and they perform excellent off road as well.

 

Looks good. And I think a round U-bolt is the only one that would work.

 

yeah round is the only that would work. this is exactly what i did(cept the tires). i love still having the rake in the back.

 

Looking at your truck makes me want to add the back blocks now. Jeesh...I went from stock rake to lowered no rake to leveled no rake and now going back to rake.......but lifted rake...lol
