Hey man, I don't know about that, It does sound like a good Idea though. I went to the junkyard and got some front coils off of a V8 Ram and slapped them on my dak. It got me about 3/4". For 12 dollars it was almost worth it.

If you ever try that email me.

Another idea you could try is cheap coil spacers from AutoZone. Your truck has thin isolator disks between the coils and frame. The coil spacers at auto Zone are only 12 dollars a set. Gives you 1 1/2 inch. The only problem is.. Taking out those coils are a B***H.

I was talking about the donut types. They are a very cheap and effective lift
