Message:
I called for a RAcho 3" on my 03 QC 4x4 Manual Transmission.... they are telling me that because of the cross member on the manual that racho lift won't work...
Is this true.. .I'm not sure I believe this guy?
If so.. is there a way around it?
any help would be appreciated! thanx

They do not have alift for the 2003 daks. The front spindles are different. The only way to put that lift on your truck is to replace your front end suspension with an older models.

P.S. If you do a search on this site, it is explained really well

For three inches, just go with a body lift from Performance accessories. Many people sell them. Make sure you specify you need the 2003/2004 kit. There is a difference. If you don't think a $200 body lift is as good as a $1500 suspension kit, then buy the body kit first and go higher with the suspension kit.

Dan and Charlie B,

But do your ways apply to a manual tranny?
The gents at the shop I talked to say no!

In all the time I have heard about the rancho lifts, i have never heard of any problems with a manual transmission. Kanada kev, hopefully you know that you will have to changge out a bunch of your front end (spindles, brake parts, there is a post on here) withe 2002 dakota parts.

Dan
