I am wanting to lift my 1998 Dodge Dakota this summer and this is my plan:
3" Body Lift
2" Rear Blocks
34x10.50x15 Super Swampers or Courser Mt 35x12.50x15?? (If i can fit a 12.50)
My question is what will get the front up besides a torsion bar crank? I heard that the ride is pretty rough if you crank them. I was going to get 2" coilspring spacers but realized tehy dont make them for the dakota..which sucks.
Hopefully one of you guys can help me out..thanks

Looks like this guy did just what you described. Maybe need some trimming to clear the front tires when compressing the front suspension and turning. When "cranking" the front torsion bars to the max, normally the control arms are already on the rebound/droop bumpstops. This will create a rough ride due to zero rebound travel. On my genII dakota I replaced the droop bumpstops with some shorter ones. I still have less rebound travel than stock but on the street where we spend most of our time it is quite comfortable. The other thing I did was lower my compression/jounce bump stop to maintain roughly stock compression travel. This will prevent stressing the torsion bars more than neccassary resulting in weakening or even breaking them. Most guys don't change the bump stops like I did, but from my own experience and comfort, I'm glad I did. Hope this helps. www.cardomain.com/ride/386790
