I had a look at the Performance Accessories 3" body lift for the Dakota - here's a link to the page showing the kit I looked at. As I mentioned in my previous post, most of this kit is spacers and associated hardware, the bumpers are relocated using the U shaped brackets, a lot of the other bits and pieces shown there are for the radiator relocation (you won't need these if you change over to an electric fan - this will also give you a few extra HP to use for other purposes) and a few are for the front body/clip support. In the parts bag, there's a piece that's used for the the intermediate steering shaft extension, and it looks like you see in the attached picture (it's the silver piece connecting the intermediate shaft to the steering column). It looks like this piece will need a bit of machining if you decide to modify the lift from 3" to 2". The space for this part will need to be measured once the cab is sitting on the new body lift and then you can take this part to a local machinist to turn the thicker section down to the right length. While they're doing this, you can do the truck bed lift installation and finish of the bumpers etc.

 

If i buy that 6in lift youu told me about will i had to deal with all the mods (mentioned above)?

 

NVM!
I actually read the site (thats a smart move!) and it comes with all the mounts and everything

There is no such thing as a 6" suspension lift for a Dodge Dakota.....

 

I believe he's referring to the JMR package.

yes i am actually
and right now they have a package deal that also gives me rear shocks and a skid plate
cant wait

 

cant wait!

 

Does anyone object to this lift?

 

It's a major change to your truck, and like all changes, it has it's consequences. There are a number of threads on this site that voice pro's & con's for this kit - I'd recommend that you review all of them and ensure that you're prepared to address all the effects of this change. One thing that may not have been addressed very well is the amount of other change that would need to be done to make everything work properly, such as drive shaft angles, additional torque needed (re-gearing diffs) to deal with larger wheels, speed sensor corrections, potential transmission issues, etc.
