new guy here, I have a 2005 3.7 2wd and its currently in the shop getting a 3" body lift and new tires. Does anybody have pictures of dakota with similar setup. Im anxious to see what it will look like. I get it back tomorrow...I will post pics. Thanks!

 

google it, and you will see pics of a few. just type in 2005 dodge dakota and they will have pics of lifted ones

 

dude you wanna see an 05 Dakota that's lifted? check here, this guy's insane, though, his lift is 10" more than your it might give you...a...bit of an idea lol

EDIT:

OOO OOO OOO where did you get your lift by the way? I have some places that can install it but I want to buy a lift for my truck, and can't afford a new suspension yet because of my dumb driving where i drove into a wall and scraped my bumper, yup $428 to repaint that. But yeah, I'm looking for a 3" body lift to someay go with a 3-4" real lift. THANKS BRO!

 

I got the Body lift from the local customizing shop...$300. I have seen them on the internet for $270-$300. Summitracing has it but for some reason the guys at the summit store dont ever seem to be in the helpful kinda mood.

Wel, yesterdayl I got the call from the shop lettin me know that my truck was just about finished, theres just one problem says the guy on the other end of the phone line...While drilling the holes for the front bumber relocator bracket, the bit got ahead of itself and drilled into the A/C condensor! WTF! So im driving without A/C until tuesday when they put in my factory replacement.

Here are some pictures...first time hope it works

looks awsome!!

 

Hey I like the lift. Question what kind of tires are those and how are they on the road, noise wise? I have a 2x4 and tow my jetskis and sometimes use a "natural ramp" and the factory tires just don't cut it. I have been close to getting stuck several times, I dont want to get stuck in front of the 4x4 guys. Thanks!!!!

 

WOW I must say that lift and those tires make your Gen3 look great, did you lose very many MPG with the tire change to those and what kind and size are those ?

Thx ahead of time

 

The tires are 31" superswamper Thornbirds by Interco. They do have a little Hummm to them on the road but I wasnt worried about road noise when I picked them out. I was in the same boat...got stuck on a grassy hill in front of 4x4 friends and with these tires i shouldnt have a problem. i have already been offroad with them and the traction off-road is extremely good! But im still not planning any extreme off-roading trips...after all its still a 2x4. They did take one or two MPG's from me though. But thats to be expected.

 

Very nice. Jimmy really needs too see this!!!!! :-)

 

Is your truck an automatic or manual? I have a manual and can't seem to find a body lift for an 05 dak with the manual tranny
