I had the 6.5" ts lift installed on my 02 dak 4x4 quad cab about 6 months ago the only problem i have really had is the mounting brackets for the sway bar keep breaking. your best bet is to find a shop to where you are comfortable with and knows what they are doing. the shop i took it to had to do some fabricating to make things work. but if you choose do it good luck. i got all the pieces in three different boxes and the instructions you print off of the internet.

What kind of company would make a lift that doesn't include instructions, nor every part that is required? That kinda blows if you ask me.....and i wouldn't play around with soemthing that's "incomplete".

the instructions you have to download off the internet, when they had to fabricate that was because the bracket that holds the diff was made too wide so he put a spacer in there

i wouldn't pay as much as they want for it, lets just put it this way, there's a guy around here that has the 6.5 lift and on the shocks they don't sent you longer ones, no. They sent you brackets to lower the upper mounts. and it looks cheap and cheesy. just my .02

ok, no instructions and lack of accurately-designed parts turned me off but a kit that comes with a mount to reuse your stock shocks on a 6.5" lift is......a big NO NO. That is like a kit that came out of a high school auto shop......

its actually not a bad lift once you get the bugs worked out of it. i have approx 6,000 miles on it, its been offroad, and the biggest problem i have had is the darn sway bar brackets that keep breaking, but I'm trying again and so far so good I have gotten atleast 400 miles out of this set.
