Please look before you ask questions. This a post about this has been at the top of the list for days now. http://www.dodgedakota.net/boards/off/612-3.html
4.5", 6.5", and 8.5" lifts are available. You can order it from http://www.truckin-virginia.com I will be the first to try the production version and I will have input as to how the install goes and what size tires fit with the 4.5" lift. If I missed anything please post on that other topic.

Shocks are either DeuchTech or Blitsen I think.. I'll double check on that.
Install time IF! you know what your doing is 6-8 hours but that's if you have all the tools & you've done it before. Once I get mine installed I'll let u guys know how long it took. We are doing it in my driveway w/ Jackstands & stuff so we'll see what happens.

I have been watching this website for a few months now. Thanks for the useful info!
Just wanted to let you guys know that last night I was browsing through an offroad mag (can't remember which one) and I saw a big fat add for Truckin Suspension that advertised free installation with any full lift kit purchase. I can't see why they wouldn't be obligated to honor that add? Anyway once my taxes are done my 2k Sport is going up.
Cheers

Blizzard.. Actually I got a sweet deal they charge the same price as any shop the just take a little longer which is fine by me I can take more pictures because of it. Also I'd like to help them do it if they'd let me get it done faster & be a bit more knowledgeable.
Guys the Free Installation was when the lift kits were priced higher around $2000 when they re-did the pricing they could no longer offer the free installation.
Basically Kit + Install = $2000 or Kit = $1200 Install costs about $800 so it all works out.

Knobby is probably right on the pricing (he usually has his facts straight), but I will hunt down the mag and post the issue tomorrow. I don't have it here with me at work.
Question- do you guys know if the first truck done (the red one) was a 4.5 or 6.5 lift? I just want to run 33's and that's what it looked like they had on there. The rig looked good! I do question the functionality, I just don't want to lay down the $$ and not have a trail worthy vehicle.
Thanks

What about these bars????
http://www.dakotausa.com/RedDodge4x4Side.jpg
Where is the part for the bracket which keeps these in their original location? I couldn't see it in the list.
I just wouldn't want to smack these on a rock with them all exposed like that. This is my ONLY concern about the lift. I think it looks great otherwise, and will probably grab the 6.5" lift myself.

Ski bum, the red dakota had the 6.5" lift running 33X12.5's on 15X10" wheels. The owner stated rubbing was driving him nuts.

YJ is correct.. the Red Dakota is lifted to 6.5" and he was running 33x12.5x15 on 15x10's and is rubbing because of a alignment problem which I'm trying to figure out if it's been fixed but dperkins isn't responding to my e-mails.
If you put 35x12.5x15 on 15x8 wheels it SHOULD.... fit w/ the 6.5" lift but.. No one has tried it yet.

Could someone go ahead and pick up the 6.5", install it, then purchase 35X12.5" tires to mount them on 15X8" wheels? Then let me know how it's workin' out?
'Cause that'd be great... ;)

--Just playin'. I'm still awaiting some hard evidence of '0' rub with that setup so I can purchase the lift and tires. ;)

Whiplash is or was under investigation for fraud. I've also tried to get information from the but have been having problems. Also there is a guy currently trying to install the wiplash kit but he has no instructions and can't figure out what goes where... Whiplash is not helping him figure it out.

I sent an email to Tuff Country asking them when in doubt they would be producing a 5.5 lift for the 2002 Dakota and they said the were not producing one at all. Reason being, because they have a weak rack and pinion. Has anyone else heard of this problem? If it is even a problem to begin with. And if you have any suggestions for a 02 lift please let me know.
