dude u can run 32's with just the body lift but if ur goin to do the coil spacers what are u goin to do about the rear aint it goin to sit 2" lower then the front cuz the rear sits about 2" factory higher then the front but if ur doin the 2" fabtech leveling lift it should even it out but the addition of the coil spacers is goin to make the front sit higher so put an add-a-leaf in the rear or something so u can run 35's on there, but hey its ur truck do what u wanna

I raised my truck 6" to compensate for my 4" penis. if you raise it 7" you must have an even smaller penis.

ya i've never heard of that but if u can do it then i guess do the chevy drop shackle but i still would recomend the 2" add a leaf kit cuz at least u would know it worked, but for the gears man, no dice i havent really looked into gears for the dakota i would check out 4wheelparts.com though they should have ur prices

If you're looking for gears for our trucks, then Randy's Ring and Pinion is your best bet. Also Reider Racing.

Haven't posted in a while but this is the same thing i am planning on doing Frank. 31" should fit fine. I am planning on doing a 3" body and just buying the 2" fabtech coils not the fabtech 2" kit (dont really need the shocks). And to even things up a fabtech add-a-leaf. I want to run 32" tires, but I dont know if they will rub bad or not. I think they should be fine considering fabtech says they can run 32" off of there 3 inch lift. Another 2" on top of that should be plenty. The only thing that you have to worry about is the fact that I have a club cab not a quad cab and your engine size. The 2" coils are not engine specific so if you have a v8 then you are not going to get as much lift as someone with a 4 banger is. Hope this helps

2inch coil spacers give threeinches of lift, but you WILL NOT be able to run them with the 2inch coil spacers or you will have no downward travel. the upper arms on mine oly have somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 an inch of clearence before hitting frame.

to try and run a coil spacer you would need 1.5 and 3inch fabtech. and I don't even know if you could do that. 2inch spacers and 2inch springs might work with fabtech a-arms a 4.7 orlarger quad should get about 4.5 fromt his and the 1.5height makes a difference. but not the stock ones.
