Has anyone done the lift yet?
I was just wondering if there was any issues you ran into while installing it or even on down the road?
Hopefully by mid feb I can order my kit

With that lift, what are you planning for wheels? axle ratios? speed compensation module?

You should have plenty of room for 32" wheels with that lift, and probably have room for larger should you want. I don't know what your current gear ratio is, so I couldn't do any calculations, but with 4.10 gears & 32" wheels, you should be close to a wash in terms of road speed. I'm assuming the after market gears are compatible with the Dakota speed sensor, so your shift points should be fairly close to what they were originally, but you may need a different "box" to reprogram the transmission if you find any lack of power with the larger wheels.
