Message:
Can I buy the 4wd suspension lift kit and make it work for a 2wd? Is there that much difference between the 4wd and 2wd GEN II dakotas?

No, completely different suspensions.
4x4 has torsion bars and a 2wd has coils

If I add-a-leaf on the rear what could I do to the front to lift it up even with the rear?

First off, they don't make a spindle lift for our trucks (yet). You have a couple of other choices though: Body lift, longer coils and finally, coil spacers. Body lift for your truck is the cheapest way to go (the 4x4 body lift will work on your truck) you can get 2 or 3 inches. Longer coil springs: Aim industries makes them i am not sure of the amount of lift you get though. You can also get the coils off of a 2 wheel drive Ram, but that will only add 3/4 of an inch. Coil spring spacers will add up to 3 inches. Daystar makes those spacers. You can get those at many places. Just remember, If you go any higher than a 3 inch suspension lift, you will need longer A-arms.

Thanks that rough country lift is the next thing on my list to buy. You think I can fit 32/11.5/15 tires on rockcrawler 15x8 rims on a '93 Dakota w/ 5" of total lift?
