All we can really tell u is just make sure the pieces they give you are substantial enough to take a beating, and then make sure everything fits well without too much cutting, and do an alignment check right after installation, and then again a month later to make sure everything is still lined up correctly.

But do the rest of us a HUGE favor and keep us posted throughout the life of your lift. The biggest problem we have are people who install these lifts, tell us they are great (after we have heard otherwise), and then disappear off the face of the earth without continuing to keep us informed on the truck and the lift and repairs and what not.

Oh...and post AS MANY PICTURES AS POSSIBLE!!!!

Thanks and good luck!!!

I've had the 6.5 in. lift for over 6mo. with no problems so far. The only thing I did when I first installed the lift was to use DD to splined u-joints and a splined shaft for the steering to align the steering wheel and changed the front brake lines for stainless steel extended lines. Also I did'nt use the dropdown brackets for the rear, I re-arced the rear leaves 4ins. and added 2in. blocks. If you have anymore questions let me know. Good luck and enjoy, Jimbo.

I have a 2000 durango 6.5 lift from those (lets just say people). What a peice of junk, front end noises, improper steering wheel alignment, brackets that twist the front diff, cheap and messed up rear end lift, I could go on all day save your money don't by Truckin Suspension's lifts for any vehicle they are also known as AIM Industies located in Mesa, AZ which have many complaints against them regsistered with the BBB, some are still unsettled. Nothing but headaches just kill me!!!!!!

I have a 4.5" lift from them and I have not yet had any probs with the lift. I have been thru more than I ever thought my truck could go thru and the lift is still holding my truck up.

ive called procomp and they said that they are not going to make a lift for the dakota until they change it in 2004 the only other lift company that says they are making something for it is superlift with a 4" kit but he didnt know when it is coming out
