I saw this guy Kevin post this site on the forum asking if these were better than a normal coil spacer lift but no one ever replied. If i can really get 5 inches of lift out of these things then Ill go buy 'em right now. Does anyone have these or currently running them. But now that i think about it, they are form AIM Industries. So who the hell knows right?

you will never get 5 out of them unless you hae the a-arms too and then you will have no downward travel. truckin is also not the most reputable company.
Nice thing is you could buy these squeze out a 2.3-3inch lift depending on what type of ride you work, and then add the arms.
these don't seem to hard to mess up, the arms may be best to get from someone else.

I think you're miswriting conig , it's not downward travel . It's rebound travel , the trucks springs are so tall that the arm rests or is close to the spring bucket so when you go over a speed bump , your truck will dive and will have downward travel and rebound up , when it rebounds it tops off on the spring bucket , well in the case of the fabtech lift at least ..... and there is nothing to do except to go custom made arms and get the height by widenning the front track . Still you can get about 6" lift , could fit 35's ........

This is really starting to make me mad. All i want is a simple lift for my truck. I bought the dakota to lift and enjoy. Now its becoming a hassle. I feel like selling the friggen thing and buying a ranger. Then maybe i wouldn't have to worry abou "REBOUND TRAVEL"!!!! Then I could at least keep up with my buddies>:(

I wan to set it up as an off road truck. You know three link the rear and a long travel fornt suspension. I dont believe in wasting my money on a street truck. I should have bought the 4.7 liter. Just lifting it doesn't solve the problem. What will solve the problem is getting a ranger. I'm sick of woorking and replacing parts on this mopar crap.
