That's a good looking tire!

 

I would like to put a 3" body lift in my 08 dakota it has the 3.7 with a 6 speed manual tranny but all I have found is kits for only autos ps help

 

just out a 3 inch leveling kit on the front. still havent done the back. huge difference in the front. am i gonna have problems with a 285/75r16?

 

Can you clarify what it is you are actually trying to say? Complete sentences, grammar, punctuation, and spelling can do wonders in effective communication.

If I understand the text, you are trying to ask if you will have rubbing issues with a 285/75/16 size tire. You may want to read the first few posts of this thread, which is what the thread was intended for...so that the answer is there for you....any time of the day....even when you are lonely.

To answer (my assumed) question you asked, yes: you may have to trim out some of the plastic in the front, depending on the offset and width of the wheel. More details of you particular setup are required to give you proper feedback.

 

Question- If I flip the tie rods, will it cause any problems?

Yes. They are conical bolts, so you can't flop them on the other side. I would recommend looking at project dirt-fab's tie rod ends. They are all heim joints for the inner and outer pivots and come with clevis washers (misalignment spacers as they like to call them).

Since you are 2WD, the 3" kit is ok to use for now. You will probably see tie rod end and upper ball joint failure prematurely. 4WD are recommended to max at 2" lift in the front based on CV angle.

I have a question. I have a 08 Ram and I recently put wheels and tires on it. My sister has a 06 dakota and she wants my stock wheels and tires because the tires are practically brand new and the wheels look new. The wheels are the factory 20" with factory size tires. I put the front wheel on last night and the back of it rubs pretty bad, too much to drive it. Would a 3" lift be enough to fix this issue?

 

stock size Ram wheel rubs aton! 3" should fix it but those tires look goofy on our trucks. Normajean on here had bought Ram wheels with tires on them and I know he ended up getting different tires even though he has a leveling kit and blocks

 

Stock Ram 20's are a 33" tire, the only way to fit that size on a Dakota is with a 3" body lift and a 2" leveling kit. And spacers may also be needed with the 19mm offset of the Ram wheels.
