Default Need Suspension help!

My brother just picked up a Dakota from our neighbor for cheap. The problem, it's a '93 2WD. The aftermarket for this model is slim to none. Luckily, we found a cheap 2 inch susp kit from JCW including front coil spacers and rear add a leaf. We also got a 2 in body lift. Everything worked except the front spacers. Since they're a JCW product, they don't even fit. We had a shop try everything. Now we're stuck with 4 inches in the back and 2 body in the front. We wanted 33 mud-terrains with a little trimming in the front, but that's impossible without the 2 inch susp. The shop suggested that V8 Dakota springs may give us a little boost up front. Our new goal is 32" mud-terrains. Does anyone in the Dakota or truck world have any suggestions? I can't find a single suspension kit for a '93 2WD. I was also wondering if anyone knows what kind of lift the V8 springs may give us. If anyone can help out it'd be greatly appreciated. I can be emailed at DrummerRAY09@hotmail.com.

I'm also looking for a suspension lift kit for a 2WD 1996 Dakota. Don't seem to be any out there... Can anyone help?

Thanks, Rob!
