hey there i just bought my dakota a few weeks ago and would love to hear your guys opinions on what kind of tuner and leveling kit i should get?? also im running on 245/70 r16s terra trac hercules do u think those would still look good with the leveling kit or would they look small and goofy

 

Best tuner is the Superchips 3865..a lot of us run it and love it! Leveling kit doesn't really matter..pretty much anything off eBay will do. If you are a 4X4 however, do not exceed 2" of lift in the front due to excessive and premature wear on cv joints and other components. Reliable brand name leveling kits if you are interested are Daystar, Trailmaster, Rough Country etc. 245/70/16 is the size the truck has from the factory..I would go with something beefier if you are going to free up the space with a leveling kit. Someone else can chime in about what tire size they prefer with the 2" lift..I am still at stock height (for now).

 

Yea ummm I've been wondering where those twenties are

 

superchips is needed for these trucks
Absolutely. No question.
Just go buy it.
Send me a thank-you gift.
you're welcome.
It's really that good.

 

I will have the tires soon!!! trust me..haha ughh I'm sick of waiting. Its June and I need my summer pair of shoes (;

 

Welcome to the forum, blu3p0ny nailed it. Superchips 3865. Worth every penny. Go with a 2" kit and while your in there replace your struts, sway bar end links, tie rod ends and ball joints with moog parts (rock auto). With a 2" kit you can go to 265/70 tires with minimal rub, larger if you don't mind trimming fnder liners and splash guards. Oh, and post pics of your truck before someone gives you one of these:

D'oh, did I just do that?

 

theres a set of the same wheels for $300 around me, and i said no no, Silver has them, i wouldnt wanna steal his thunder

 

haha are they aluminum or chrome clad??? So glad mine aren't chrome glad otherwise they would definitely be plastidipped by now

 

no idea i didnt pursue they were on craigs

 

PRetty much anything off of ebay, or you can go with a performance accessories 2" leveling kit. They also make a 3" bodylift which I have on my Dak. And yes yes yes the superchips 3865is the best for the 05-06 Dak. Goodluck!
