Hola Members. New to the forum. My name is Eddy Trevino and have a 2001 Dakota Sport Single cab 4x4 running 315/75/16 with stock 5.9, 5-speed manual and 3.92 gears. Also have a 2003 Durango R/T on 305/70/17s with 5.9, 4-speed auto and 3.92 gears. Love all the free advice and learning from you fine folks. Looking forward to any comments or advice.

5 inches of total lift up front and 6 inches rear. 3 inches from PA body lift and 2 inches of Torsion bar crank up front and 3 inch blocks out back. Slight trimming on front bumper and rear of fender flare. Also 1.5 wheel spacers on stock 16 x 8 rims. No rubbing. Also installed a 2 inch diff drop to help with CV angles. 6 months with this set up as a daily driver with some mild to moderate 4 wheeling on desert and mountain terrain.

I made a 3/4 inch spacer and also did a ball joint flip to get some added downward travel.

Not a bad plan on the spacers there. Did you have any trouble getting it aligned??

Welcome to DF! Check out the 2nd Gen Dakota section, if you haven't already.

 

No problems with the alignment. First did a driveway alignment then took it to an alignment shop but toe and camber were dead on. They just adjusted caster a bit. Overall really happy with this set up for now. But as any member already knows and does, changes are coming.

 

Indeed. It is something you are NEVER 'done' with.
