I looking for a lift for my 94 dak with a V8,  iam wondering if anybody knows the best way to go. As in susp or body, and brand and what not. All iam really looking for is a lift big enough so i can put bigger tires on.

the lower hose will bend enough. simple fan shrod brakets are easly to make
gap gaurds cover the space in between the body and frame they are not needed
front and back bumpers are easy to modify to move up

Wow, I assume it was a 2wd sport since you used the spring spacers? I just bought that kit for my truck and wasn't sure if 31's would fit. Do your tires rub very badly, and do you have many miles on the truck? I have well over 200k so I'm not sure if  the kit will have the same effect..

i got 175000 they dont rub but if a hit a big enough rock my wheel will hit upperwell in my front 1 gen dakota been know for it bouncyness well nothig is in bed but thats why im getting a double tube roll bars and spare tire carrier build to make up for this best thing tho is to get a helper springs to go around your shocks cause you coils might be worn. when do they rub when turns sharp or when hitting stuff? the best though for you if you suppensions worn it to take 95 ram leaf springs and mount them on as for coils try to get some longer or stiffer ones from a jeep cherokee or chevy 1500

They may not be too bad off. I don't have any of this stuff installed yet, i just ordered the spacers and add a leaf kit (and a locker :D ) in the past couple days. Just trying to see what i may be getting into.

Are you saying you got 33's to fit with only the 120 dollar lift kit? I was just hoping to put some 31x10.50s on my stock rims if possible.
