You should be able to. I would suggest putting on a 3inch Fabtech kit also. Gives more clearance and just looks better. But conig's right. You will have to do a little trimming. Greg

Wouldn't want any other!

I think the Fabtech lifts are for 97 through 99. 2000's, seem to be nothing in the way of suspension kits. Just a body lift. But 97 through 99 can have both. Might want to try http://www.fabtechmotorsports.com/ to be on the safe side. I know the price has came down a lot in the past couple of years. Greg

Man, i look at your pics of your truck basically everyday even though we have the same truck except not lifted, i am so JEALOUS of your truck, i wish that was sitting in the driveway. My parents doesn't seem to be very....faithful on it...so i dunno. Btw, does anybody know what a body shop would charge for installing a lift of this sort???(The 3 inch Fabtech suspension and 3 inch body lift) like stealwings truck?

I wish I could tell you but I did everything myself. For me that was the fun part. I really didn't know how to do any of this but by reading the threads on here and talking to other people who've done similar types of lifts I just went along. Believe me, I made my share of mistakes. But now it's all worth it. Hope you get yours done dude. Greg

Wouldn't want any other!

these boys, http://www.orcmotorsports.com/ , make a kit for the Gen II dak and you should fit a 33" under it without a body lift. ask for tyler and tell him that josh sent you and should hook you up. just FYI plan to spend money (just remember you get what you pay for)

I have a 93 Dakota 2wd. Does anyone know if there is a lift kit for the older Dodge Dakotas? Also does anyone know if the Fabtech lift for the 97 and newer trucks will fit under the older trucks?

Thanks all

Jesse, I gotta 1990 2wd Dak. Ive been looking over lifting stuff for my dak for 5 years now. No company makes a true suspension lift for our trucks. You can get a 2in spacer from roughcountry. Then add a leafs for the rear.

For body lifts, there are 2 and 3 ins avaliable. Trailmaster and perf. acc both have them.

With both of these lifts on my truck and with alittle trimming, I run 31x10.50s. Not much for 5in lift. But the dodge fenders are square and really hamper our large tire ability. Good Luck. And search these formus for lifting. Alot of info is in there.

Where's a good place to get those 2" coil spacers on-line? I got a 97 2wd that I wanna get higher. I think, at least for now, 2" coil spacers should level it out, and then a 3" body lift will get it up enough to fit bigger tires. Has anyone tried this combo on a 97? How did it look and what tires could you fit?

hey CJ35021, i have that set up on my 1998 dak right now, and you can run 32's with that set-up. at least that's what i'm running (with minor rubbing), but i'm fixing to rip all that off so i can prerun it out.

oh BTW i went through www.goferitoffroad.com for my coilspacers. with s/h it was like $70-80 (something like that). with the 2" spacer and 3" body i sit about 1" taller than stock 1998 4x4
