Message:
needing some assistance here....I have an 02 dakota 2wd. It is time for some new tires i currently have 255/65/16. I know i can fit a 265/70/16 which is just shy of 31/10.5. I figured I mine as well level out the truck while im at it. so would 2in coil spacers Or 2in larger coils and new shocks be a better idea. which one has the best driveabliity(I love the way the truck handles and rifes as it is i just want ti to be level) an sujestions would be great.

From what I have seen on here going with the new shocks will give
you a better ride but you have to be careful that the geometry stays
the same or else your tires will wear unevenly. Spacers work but
will give a rough ride. If you are looking for just two inches there is
a fabtech kit for two I think around $400. Personally I am going to
go with the doetsch 3 inch kit which is like the fabtech 3 inch kit
but without the balljoints. By replacing the uppper control arms
you will maintain a nice ride and keep the tires at the right angle.
