Default Not quite a Dodge owner yet..

..But I'm workin on it. Currently looking at a 1993 Dakota and wanted to get some info on it before I get it. Never had a Dodge truck before, but I've had friends with them and totally love them. I'm goin tomorrow to look at it and take it for a little drive and see how I like it.

Right now I'm rockin a 2002 Mustang GT with a few mods. I would post up a lot about it, but its not a Ford forum, and I'm sure no one cares lol.

Anyways..What I'm really looking for is some guidance. Does anyone have any info on where I could pick up a 2 or 3" lift for the truck? The only thing I've found are lifts for 4wd trucks, and this one is a 2wd. Any info would be much appreicated.

Thanks!

Well a little update.

I went and looked at the Dakota, and could not have been more disappointed. The ad was way misleading. So now I'm not quite sure if I'm gonna end up a dodge owner or not. I'm goin to look at an F-150 today, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the welcomes anyways..

Well, my tranny in my F-150 has no problems, and they ARE the best selling vehicle of ANY TYPE for most of the last 30 years. That said, if the Dodge 4X4 would have had a lower price, I would have bought it, but the Ford dealership sold me a 2008 Ford F-150 STX 4X4 with the 4.6 ltr V-8 for less than $2K more than I paid for my 2004 SRT-4. I'm getting about 17 mpg, not that much less than my little skittle (which I still miss!)

Up here in Colorado, you see a lot of Ford and Dodge trucks, but not too many Chevy's and almost no Tundra's, etc. This is the REAL WORLD, not a fancy commercial on TV.....

Yea the F-150 didnt work out.

Truth be told...I'm goin Chevy if possible. I had a Chevy truck before I got my Mustang, and never should have gotten rid of it. No problems with it what so ever..
