Default New to Dakota

Just Purchesed a 2007 4 door 4x4. Slt - super chip, blacked out, dual exhaust and k&n intake
180k km for 4000$ canadian

It's bad some bald 265/75r16 on stock alloys

It has those front little side mud flap removed and it appears the front bumper is sticking out an inch. Even gap all the way around between the bumper and grill. Is this normal? Iv seen a few pictures like that or is it extended to fit bigger tires?

I pretty much stole the truck for the price as head lights weren't working and tail lights either. Got it home and ripped out the hids and repaired a few broken wires and its 100% now in a couple of hours.

Also curious about levelling kit. Is there a all around front and rear kit or do you order them separate?

Passenger side controls are not responsive. Investigating today. I know dodge is notorious for this little stuff. Where should I start looking?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum. Use the search function and also take a look at the official lift and tire size thread at the top of the forum. All the info you request is here and there are many existing threads discussing all this. Post up some pics of the truck and close ups of the areas you are concerned about. We can go from there.

This is the bumper space I was talking about. Seem extended and not super square. Is this normal?

Removed door panel and switch was not connected. Rear door handle wasn't connected to the pull rod either. Easy fixes.
