ANyone have any cheap recommendations? Or any that they have personally used them self? I plan on getting custom ubolts made from grade 8 bolts at a local spring shop if neccessary. Or does anyone recommend add a leafs instead?

 

I had add-a-leafs. I dont trust blocks.

 

Yeah thats what im thinking. But i cant find any reasonable add a leafs. Ebay has a **** ton, but idk if i would trust their centering bolt.

 

Just worried that i wont get the full amount of lift with it.. plus idk if i would trust their centering pin. I do plan on getting custom grade 8 ubolts from a local spring shop however. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LIFT-KIT-REAR-1-5-2-ADD-A-LEAF-SPRING-2WD-4WD-4X2-4X4-/331069733186?fits=Year%3A2005%7CMake%3ADodge%7CModel%3ADakota&hash=item4d154b3942&vxp=mtr

 

I believe I got mine from summit. with my 2" leveling kit in the front, the 1.5" helper spring gave it a rake again.

 

I briefly looked at summit, I'll look again later

 

I got 2" aal from eBay. Only lifted 1.5" but it made the rear ungodly stiff and they started squeaking really bad before I took them out. And the center pin had to be modified to fit into the axle seat.

Supreme suspension sells what I think are good kits (aluminum blocks that don't crack like the cast iron ones), or you could email rough country and buy just the rear block from their Dakota kit.

Monroe sensa tracs lift about 1" and add a little extra spring rate. They're what I have with my 2" leveling kit and handle towing great. Plus the rake looks good.

 

I just did the Rough Country 2.5 front and 2 inch back. Worked great no issues. Came with rear shocks so I installed those. Better than it was before. Need front struts bad they are shot.
