Message: Hey Guys, Im looking to raise the front of my 93 Dakota. From the ground to the middle of the fendor in the back i got 35 inches. In the front i got around 32 inches.. I want to raise the front end to gain some more clearance. From my Skid plates, to the rocker arms the rocker arms extend upwards to the wheels. Unlike Downwards to the wheels... My clearance is very limited, and unfortunate since I have a 4X4... last winter I got thru everything except one daywhen they plowed a few main roads and i couldnt dig thru there snow mounds.. SO any info.. Can i but in bigger struts or shocks in the front to raise it higher ??? thanks
Message: No Struts, it’s a torsion bar IFS front end. Not sure what you mean by rocker arms since those are inside the engine but I would assume you’re referring to the control arms, You may be able to crank the torsion bars some, if you have any adjustment left. There are instructions here:

Message: How many hours to do such a job... ? and any special tools, I got a haynes book, but it just explains how to do a replacement, and how many inches do you say i might be able to lift it up... ? do my numbers sound familiar to you 35 in in the back... 32 inch in the front ? thanks again
