Congratulations, how's she ride?(kit came with Rancho shocks I assume) Show us some pics so us 2K+ Dak owners can stare longingly. Hope they make a suspension lift for 2K+ Daks soon, could use the extra 3", of lift that is...

Seems a little heavier b/c of all the solid pieces there were, or it could just be me getting used to it. It came with RSX shocks or RXS, whatever. So far she handles great although I've just driven her the shop to get aligned. My old stock shocks were a piece so these should be so much better. 3 inches isn't a lot, but it does look so much better then it did before. I'll get some pics up after I get it back from the shop this afternoon.

P.S. Lift Kit=bloody knuckles and a sore back

Congrats ;-) gah .. I think EVERYONE has there trucks lifted now.. I feel like that little guy driving the R/T :p I guess I'll have to add the body lift to my list and just HOPE that some Suspension lift comes out that is a normal size. Hey .. I could do a 10" body lift.. then lower it 4" that'd give me a 6" lift.. yea yea YEA!!! *jezz ya think something would break? :-)*

BTW Doch I don't know many places to go around here.. and it almost never rains so it's not all that fun. But I'll keep looking.

Knobby, why don't you just get the body lift and 33's? I think our trucks look PERFECT with only 3inches of lift and bigger feet. Then when a suspension kit comes out you can add that and put on 35's! By the time a sus.lift is out, you'll need new shoes anyway. It all works out!! ;-)

BTW, I need to show you some pics of my truck with 33's. I just finished the lift this weekend and it looks AWESOME with our Graphite paint!! I'll try and get the pics on my site tonight.
