Does anybody know where I can get a lift kit or something to lift my dakota? Id like to lift it maybe 4 - 7 inches or so. Thanks if somebody can help. Also what parts are required to lift it?

I got this info from someone here. This is a lift for 2WD Daks only.

Still looking around for 4WD lift kit.

yea, that kit was installed on a 2wd, but the front 4wd diff is identical to the 2nd gen dak, meaning you could probrably use the diff drop brackets that they use on the 2nd gen dakotas when they go with the larger lift kits.....
