3quot; lift for 05 dakota 4x4

andy

hey everyone so i have a 05 4x4 and want to put a 3quot; suspension lift then maybe another 3quot; body lift on top of that anyone have any suggestions i would like to keep the total project under $3000 with installation. Also if i get 35quot; tires will i have to destroy my wheel well or do i have clearence?

.well the make both 3quot; body and suspension lifts for the newer body style i believe.....   but if your looking at running 35quot; tires you better plan on axle/gear upgrades as well....

.I have yet to see a 3rd gen truck clear 35's...come to think of it, I have yet to see a 3rd gen truck clear 305/70/16's (33x12.5) most guys run 285/75/16's or similar due to the width being more narrow.

.i have a 05 4x4 and am about to do a 3quot; body and 2quot; front leveling kit and i 'm gona try the 285/75 16 to see if she clears. i wanted to use stock rims but. it looks like it'll rub on the inside. we will see. if i have to cut the fender thats fine. its comming off soon anyway. as far as a suspension lift. i dont know of one yet.

.There was a guy on here with 33's with the level kit only and wanted to run 35's with a 3quot; body lift addition. He was critized bad, didn't look good. maybe I can find it.

.i have a 2005 dak: 3quot; body lift, 2quot; leveling kit and 2quot; add-a leaf in rear. 33x12.5's rub like crazy. had to trim 2quot; off the bumper and about 8quot; off of the bottom of the rear of the front fender, just so i could turn in reverse. looks sorta cool tho. not sure they make a suspension lift for the 05-07's, if they do please let me know....

.I have seen 7quot; lift kits advertised im magazines often, not sure how well they are or if they are even 2 or 4 wd's.
