According to their website, they do not offer them for the Dakota. There are plenty of other brands out there and they are all pretty much the same. Either aluminum or rubber. Why limit to Trailmaster?

The 1.5" Trailmaster kit for the Dakotas (Part #DL223) hasn't been produced for a long time now. They was never a big demand from the (small) Dakota crowd, so they simply stopped making them. I don't see it available anywhere anymore, and they were the only manufacturer making the 1.5" kit. A 2" kit is available, Daystar making the best one out there, well, the most popular anyway.

Thanks. I was looking for the smallest one. I did get a puck version 2" made of billet aluminum but im having a night mare getting it in. I can get the bottom of the strut lined up with bushing. Is it normal that the strut has bow a lot to get it in?
Thanks again

Thanks. Saw that, but missed the part about filing off some metal. I think thats my problem to. I like the idea of trimming the puck down much. Just wanted a tad lift to fit 265/65-18 without much, preferably no, rubbing
