Smile 08 Dodge Dakota Lift Kits

Hey I have an 08 dakota and want to put in a 3 inch lift in it. I already have a leveling kit but it doesnt really raise my truck all that much. I dont know much about cars or trucks but what I think I want is a suspension lift but not sure where to find one. Can anyone help me?

Welcome to DF! This topic has been discussed in depth. Feel free to use the "search" function. Also, take a peek at this, https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...ze-thread.html. Pics are required from new members...or you don't have a dak, and the mods didn't happen. Haha, welcome the DF shenanigans.

I put in the 3" lift kit from Rough Country for 2wd Dakotas and it lifted it up nicely, but seeing as I put them on a truck with 310,000km that already needed front end work it quickly finished that off.

Check that out, along with the 2" front differential drop from Jackmyride, and a body lift and you will be clearing 33's from what I've heard. Jackmyride has 6" suspension lift kits, but just like any other IFS truck, it's basically just dropping all the pivot points, no increase in travel.

No where. One does not exist. You can do a 3" body lift and 1" spacers and blocks, or 2" body lift, 2" spacers, etc. But there is no "lift kit".
